Citizenship and Immigration Services (previously Immigration and Naturalization Services, INS) continues to rollout its immigration information by appointment system called InfoPass, with 3 brand-new USCIS districts included recently. Atlanta, Boston and Houston are the most recent additions, making the system now readily available in almost all major metropolitan areas with big immigrant populations. These areas include Los Angeles, New York and Miami.
In addition to the Case Status Online service (permits users to check the status of some pending applications, e.g. green card applications) which was provided earlier this year on the Internet, and the electronic filing of the 12 most popular migration forms, (represent more than 50% of all migration benefit applications filed each year) InfoPass is the most recent effort planned to speed and minimize long lines up the processing backlog of services provided by the USCIS.
InfoPass enables anybody who is residing in a serviced USCIS district and seeking immigration benefits to arrange a visit with migration officers through the Internet. The simple to utilize online system permits users to go over complex migration issues with USCIS officials, while preventing the long lines. Those already located in the United States and are trying to get a skilled worker visa are best to consult an immigration lawyer like this one:

The safe and secure Internet website provides service in 12 languages and is organized in a series of triggers, asking the user to enter their name, zip code, address, phone number and a wanted appointment date. The notification will supply the address of the USCIS office and any details concerning needed recognition and/or extra documentation, such as a green card or work authorization, to be presented at the consultation.
