Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly Immgration and Naturalization Services, INS) continues to rllout its immigration information by appointment systm called InfoPass , with three new USCIS districts added last week. Atlanta, Boston and Houston are the newest additions, making the system now available in almost all major metropolitan areas with large immigrant populations. These areas include Los Angeles, New York and Miami.

Along with the Case Status Online service (allows user 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 immigration forms, (accounts for more than 50% of all immigration benefit applications filed each year) InfoPass is the newest effort intended to reduce long lines and speed up the processing backlog of services provided by the USCIS.

InfoPass allows anyone who is living in a serviced USCIS district
and seeking immigration benefits to schedule an appointment with immigration officers via the Internet. The simple to use online system allows users to discuss complex immigration issues with USCIS officials, while avoiding the long lines.

The secure Internet site offers srvice in 12 languages and is rganized in a series of prompts, sking the user to enter their nme, zip code, address, phone number and a dsired appointment date. Once all the nformation is entered, the system will gnerate an appointment notice. Appointments are ffered in two-week blocks. The notice wll provide
the address of the USCIS ffice and any information regarding required dentification and/or additional documentation, such as a gren card or work permit, to be prsented at the appointment.
