How FillWise handles Form I-589

FillWise fills this form the regular way: the AI reads each field's printed caption, its tooltip and its options, and answers from your notes. It works, but on a form with this many fields expect to correct more by hand than on a short one.

The PDF is encrypted with an empty password; FillWise opens it like any other.

It also carries Adobe XFA data; FillWise fills the regular fields and drops the XFA part, so the result opens in any reader.

What to check before you file

• The edition. Agencies replace their forms with new editions. This page describes the 07/28/26 edition; check that your copy is still the current one on uscis.gov/i-589.
• The box at the top of page 1 is easy to miss: check it if the applicant also wants to apply for withholding of removal under the Convention Against Torture.
• Names and numbers character by character; signatures, fees and supporting documents stay with you.
