Where should I direct my questions? 

Within your Envoy account, there are a few distinct parties involved in the immigration process. There is the legal team at GIA, the CX team, and your employer. If you are on a student-based status, your Designated School Official (DSO) may be your best point of contact for some questions.

How do I access my account for the first time? 

To access your new Envoy account, you will first need to accept the account invitation emailed to you from noreply@envoyglobal.com.  

• Accept the account invitation within 72 hours, otherwise it will expire.  
• If your account invitation expires, start a live chat on the login page and Envoy Customer Experience will assist. Login page: https://app.envoyglobal.com/client/auth/login  
• Add noreply@envoyglobal.com to your email contacts to ensure you receive important account and case updates in your Inbox. 

When will a new case be opened in my account?  

Your employer will work with the legal team at CIP and their Envoy Account Manager to open new casework in your account as needed. Your employer will work with CIP to review upcoming expirations to ensure cases are opened with adequate time to prepare and file.  

When a new case is opened in your account, you will receive an email notification from noreply@envoyglobal.com. If you have questions on when a specific case will be opened in your account, we recommend contacting your employer’s immigration contact directly.  

If your employer recently retained the legal team at CIP to manage their immigration casework, then our Onboarding team will work with your employer to ensure pending casework from previous counsel is captured in your account.  

If you have any Dependents (spouse or children under the age of 21) who will require sponsorship, we encourage you to create profiles for them in your account and add any relevant information or documentation.   

My company just joined Envoy – Will my documents from prior counsel be transferred? Will pending casework be transferred to my Envoy account?   

When a company begins working with Envoy Global, our onboarding team coordinates with your employer and prior counsel to obtain legacy documentation. As they receive documents from prior counsel, the team transfers the appropriate documentation to the Document Library and updates your Account Profile.   

The Onboarding team will work with your employer to quickly transfer all information. If there’s documentation you have available that has not yet been transferred, we recommend updating your Account Profile and uploading your most updated documentation to the Document Library at your earliest convenience.
