A Chrome extension to autofill EVUS (evus.gov) forms using previous enrollments.
Once in a while you have to do a new enrollment on www.evus.gov for people visiting US from China. Perhaps for yourself, your parents, friends, or clients.
There is absolutely no fun typing the answers for the numerous questions. Even if you had a previous enrollment at hand, it is still tedious labor work copy-pasting over all the information.
Though working on this extension cost more time than filling out the enrollment applications 100 times it was fun and hopefully it would save many others' time.
EVUS AUTOFILL will not help you if it is your first time doing an enrollment. However, if you had an expired enrollment, this extension will copy its data to the new enrollment forms and thus save you time to enjoy your life.
Available on Chrome web store.
-
Following "CHECK EXISTING ENROLLMENT" to the page showing all the information submitted for your last enrollment. The enrollment number or group id might be found in your email used for your last enrollment. Try searching "evus" in your email box.
-
Once you are on the page showing your last enrollment, click the extension icon on the Chrome toolbar to open the popup menu and then click "Import data" button.
The imported enrollment will show up in the popup menu.
- Following "NEW ENROLLMENT" to start a new enrollment.
- Once on the forms click the extension icon to open the popup menu.
- Click the green button to autofill the forms.
- Click "NEXT" on the page. An error prompt might pop up. Just ignore it
and click "NEXT" again. It will go through the second time.
- Repeat 2-4 till all the forms have been filled out.
Feel free to make changes to the data fields if needed. Clicking the green button will override the form with the imported data.
- Currently for the Yes/No questions it does not autofill the answers to the further questions when "Yes" is selected. One exception is that it does autofill employment information.
- It blindly autofill "No" to all the eligibility questions.
- It does not autofill Yes/No questions if evus.gov website is loaded in Chinese though it should not be hard to fix this issue.
Make sure you review the new enrollment carefully before submission. The extension only does copy-paste and you are still responsible for the correctness of all the information submitted.
