Citizenship and Immigration Services (previously Immigration and Naturalization Services, INS) continues to rollout its migration info by consultation system called InfoPass, with 3 new USCIS districts added recently. Atlanta, Boston and Houston are the most recent additions, making the system now available in practically all significant cities with large immigrant populations. These locations consist of Los Angeles, New York and Miami.
Along with the Case Status Online service (permits users to check the status of some pending applications, e.g. green card applications) which was made available earlier this year on the Internet, and the electronic filing of the 12 most popular migration types, (accounts for more than 50% of all migration benefit applications filed each year) InfoPass is the newest effort planned to speed and reduce long lines up the processing backlog of services provided by the USCIS.
InfoPass allows anybody who is residing in a serviced USCIS district and seeking immigration advantages to schedule a consultation with immigration officers by means of the Internet. The simple to use online system permits users to discuss complicated migration problems with USCIS officials, while preventing the long lines. Those already in the United States and are seeking a skilled worker green card are best to seek out an immigration lawyer like this one:

The safe and secure Internet site offers service in 12 languages and is organized in a series of prompts, asking the user to enter their name, postal code, address, phone number and a desired consultation date. When all the details are filled out, the system will generate a visit notification. Appointments are available in two-week blocks. The notification will provide the address of the USCIS office and any info relating to needed identification and/or additional paperwork, such as a green card or work license, to be provided at the consultation.
