Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly Immigration and Naturalization Services, INS) continues to rollout its immigration information by appointment system called InfoPass, with 3 brand-new USCIS districts included last week. Atlanta, Boston and Houston are the latest additions, making the system now available in practically all significant cities with big immigrant populations. These areas include Los Angeles, New York and Miami.
Along with the Case Status Online service (enables users to examine the status of some pending applications, e.g. green card applications) which was made available previously this year on the Internet, and the electronic filing of the 12 most popular migration types, (accounts for more than 50% of all immigration benefit applications filed each year) InfoPass is the most recent effort planned to speed and reduce long lines up the processing backlog of services provided by the USCIS.
InfoPass allows anybody who is living in a serviced USCIS district and looking for migration benefits to arrange an appointment with immigration officers via the Internet. The basic to utilize online system permits users to talk about complex immigration problems with USCIS authorities, while preventing the long lines. Those already located in the United States and are seeking a skilled worker green card are best to consult an immigration lawyer like this one:

The secure Internet website provides service in 12 languages and is arranged in a series of triggers, asking the user to enter their name, zip code, address, phone number and a desired consultation date. The notice will provide the address of the USCIS office and any details concerning needed identification and/or extra documents, such as a green card or work authorization, to be provided at the visit.
