USCIS to End Self-Scheduled InfoPass Appointments

USCIS has expanded its Information Services Modernization Program to more field offices. The Detroit and Los Angeles field offices recently were added to the program, which aims to end self-scheduled InfoPass appointments and steer applicants towards online information. The USCIS intends to implement the program in the Newark and Great Lakes field offices in the near future, with full implementation at all field offices anticipated before September 30, 2019, which is the last day of fiscal year 2019. The program requires a person to speak with the USCIS National Customer Service Center (NCSC) by phone before being able to schedule an InfoPass appointment.
