USCIS (Formerly INS) Continues to Broaden Website InfoPass Capability
Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly Immigration and Naturalization Services, INS) continues to rollout its immigration details by appointment system called InfoPass, with three new USCIS districts added recently. Atlanta, Boston and Houston are the most recent additions, making the system now readily available in almost all significant cities with big immigrant populations. These areas consist of Los Angeles, New York and Miami.
In addition to the Case Status Online service (allows users to check the status of some pending applications, e.g. permit applications) which was offered previously this year on the Internet, and the electronic filing of the 12 most popular immigration forms, (represent more than 50% of all immigration benefit applications submitted each year) InfoPass is the most recent effort planned to lower long lines and speed up the processing stockpile of services provided by the USCIS.
InfoPass enables anybody who is living in a serviced USCIS district and seeking migration advantages to schedule an appointment with migration officers through the Internet. The simple to use online system permits users to talk about complex immigration issues with USCIS officials, while avoiding the long lines. People already located in the United States and are trying to get a skilled worker green card are best to seek out an immigration lawyer like this one:

The protected Internet site provides service in 12 languages and is organized in a series of prompts, asking the user to enter their name, zip code, address, phone number and a preferred visit date. The notification will offer the address of the USCIS office and any information regarding required recognition and/or additional documentation, such as a green card or work license, to be provided at the visit.
