Hi to All,
I have just spent the last 1&1/2 hours trying to find the answer with no luck. Can someone please tell us how to go about making an infopass?

Thanks,

That's all you need.

Oddly enough, typing "infopass" into Google brings the page up as the first result.

Yes, but when stressed and worried sometimes the mind does not think clearly - sometimes one just needs to be told the answer.

ihateemo,
the first thing I did was google. But instead of just typing in the one word "infopass" I typed in "How to make an infopass" I didn't think to use just one word. But Thanks.

jamieswith,

Thank you for posting the link and for your kindness. I appreciate both very much.

Then reason we need the infopass appointment is DH has not received his NOA/extention letter so we need to get the stamp in his passport. I am at the infopass site & I'm not sure which option to choose:


You need Service on a case that has already been filed
or
You need information or other services


Could I get some opinions please?

Thanks again,
Mitzi

Service on a case already filed... then the option that says you are a new permanent resident and have not got your card yet (that will get you a stamp appointment - it's not quite right, but it gets you to see the right person)

jamieswith,

Thanks for all your help.

We couldn't find the right category, since he isn't "a new permanent resident that didn't get his card yet". I think we picked the "other" option, something generic and more generalized. Is this going to be wrong and make the infopass appointment a waste of time?

I really don't know.

It may still be ok... as long as the location you get sent to also does the stampings it should be ok, and there should be a way to get to see the right person - they will usually re-ask your reason for being there when you first check-in at the reception desk anyway - you can give a clear explanation at that point.

But since the purpose of the "new permanent resident that didn't get his card yet" appointment is a combined status check + passport stamp... it would at least guarantee the right kind of appointment

Ok, well we may have to change our appointment day, and if we do, I will select what you mentioned. If not, I will report back on how it goes. Cleveland is a small office, so I don't think it would be that difficult to get someone that does the stampings (I think). We only have the one location downtown that does everything in one building (the biometrics is on another floor though).

The correct option for a stamp is "You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your Permanent Resident Card." If you select that, you will then read "If you need evidence of your Permanent Resident Status, please press 'Continue'." That's precisely what the stamp is.

Yep... exactly.

The wording of the option is not the correct situation, but it does get you to see the right area.

Yes, I see that now. We did end up rescheduling the day so it's filed as the correct appointment type now.

Thank you!

I selected 'other' because I got confused as well and my appointment is tomorrow in Chicago (my biometrics was in Indy), probably don't have time to reschedule now so will have to hope for the best and that I get my stamp.

It will probably be ok. When I redid it it was the same room given for the appointment. Good luck!

Just redid mine to see what would happen, gave me same confirmation number, etc but instead of 'Appointment type: Speak to immigration officer' it now shows 'Appointment type:Permanent Resident Green card'.

Couldn't get an Infopass appointment before my 1-yr extension expires. Not a problem, right? I only miss by 5 days...

*bump*

Should be fine

*relief*

Thank you - that's what I figured!
