If punished by Uefa on Wednesday, he would miss the semi-final, first leg against Real Madrid on 27 April.
The 26-year-old Spain midfielder was booked in the quarter-final against Shakhtar Donetsk, meaning he missed the return leg but would then be available.
Barca said the "good faith of the player" will help them in the appeal.
Iniesta was cautioned for not retreating the required distance at a free-kick against the Ukrainian side, with the Catalan outfit winning the game at the Nou Camp 5-1 on 6 April.
However, a Barca statement read: "The good faith of the player and the disproportionate nature of the proposed sanction will be sufficient to rebut the allegations."
