Does anyone have any idea when the new Raleigh office will actually open and if they will transfer some of the cases from Charlotte to there? It would be nice if they would, especially sine we live in Raleigh.

I must be behind the 8-ball...I had no idea they were opening an office in Raleigh. We're about to apply for AOS and this would be an absolute blessing, since 1) we live closer to Raleigh (eastern NC) and 2) I've never ONCE been to Charlotte!!!!, 3) the drive is at least half as short. Will look into some more since this is of particular interest to us!!!

I just saw a press release about the groundbreaking for the Raleigh office in July of 2007. It said the office would be opening in March of 2008, so maybe us eastern NC folks can get transferred to the Raleigh office!!! I might call the USCIS hotline and see if it has opened yet.

I was just at the Charlotte USCIS office yesterday morning and the agent I was working with commented that it would be 'very soon'. Had I seen your question before I went I would have asked her for more detail, but for now all I have is 'very soon'.

Best of luck!

This new NC Office opened today, in the Raleigh/Durham area :

Good luck folks ! Neil.

Awesome i just hope that they change my application to Raleigh, just hope it means its all quicker!

I went to Charlotte for my Infopass and bio appointment on 4/28 and they asked why didnt I do it in Raleigh... and they said it's already open..

So they said that if you get the appointment and it said to go to Charlotte, send it back and request for Raleigh office instead.

too bad I didnt know this before I drove 3 hrs there and 3 hrs back!

Wow! Glad to see other North Carolinians here! I moved here last year from Florida, and we're in the process of lifting the conditions for my husband. So glad there's an office closer than Charlotte!
