8 CFR 103.6(c)(3)

When you file immigration forms with U.S. authorities, you have the right to know who is representing you and to authorize or revoke that representation—a protection outlined in 8 CFR 103.6(c)(3). This regulation specifies the procedures for designating an attorney, accredited representative, or other authorized agent to act on your behalf in immigration matters, and ensures you maintain control over who speaks for you in official proceedings. Understanding these rules matters because improper representation can jeopardize your case, and knowing how to formally authorize or dismiss your representative protects you from fraud and ensures your interests are properly advocated.
