InfoPass on USCIS website
InfoPass is an Internet-based system that enables the public to go online to schedule
appointments with immigration information officers at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) offices. If you have a complex immigration question or need that is best
addressed by a trained USCIS officer in person, InfoPass offers a convenient alternative
to waiting in line for assistance. InfoPass is a secure Internet site.
How does InfoPass work?
- You access the system by typing www.uscis.gov
into your Internet browser window. No special software is necessary. The only requirements
are a computer with a browser and Internet access.
- The InfoPass home page asks you to select your preferred language. InfoPass is
currently offered in 12 languages.
- Follow screen prompts asking for your zip code, name, birth date, phone number,
desired appointment type, date, and time.
- InfoPass generates an electronic appointment notice, which appears on the screen.
- InfoPass appointments are available in two-week blocks.
What should I take to my appointment?
- Bring a print out of the appointment notice. The notice gives the date and time of
the appointment, the USCIS office address, and instructions on any additional documents
required.
- Be prepared to present personal identification, such as a government-issued ID
card, passport, valid driver's license, I-94, Work Authorization Card, or
"green card".
- Bring any forms, receipts, translations, and original documents related to your inquiry.
- You can cancel and reschedule appointments over the Internet using the
identification numbers at the bottom of your appointment confirmation notice.
- If you lose your appointment notice, you may generate a replacement by accessing
InfoPass and entering the information requested.
Is InfoPass for me?
You may not need to visit a USCIS office to receive the assistance you need. Immigration
forms are available on the agency's website at www.uscis.gov,
or by calling the National Customer Service Center (NCSC), 1-800-375-5283. Customers can also
file for an immigration benefit by using E-Filing. E-Filing currently supports eight of the
most frequently used forms that account for over 50% of the applications filed each year. To
check the status of an application filed with a USCIS service center, you can also go online
and select "Case Status Online".
