Just wanted to share our experience of our infopass appointment today at Holtsville, NY. We went there to cancel a previously filed I-485 application and turned out to be not so bad. First off, I want to say I live in Manhattan but decided to go to Long Island because #1. There were no available appointments until June in the city, #2 free parking and #3 I think that offices outside the city are run by "happier" employees and are less crowded (just my opinion but I think I was right.) so, we arrived at 10:30am although our appointment was at 11:30am, checked in and was seen within 10 minutes. We spoke to a man at a window he just asked my husband why he was canceling his application, he told him because him and his ex were divorced and he is now applying a new one and he said okay. He made copies of the old NOA and his current NOAs and told us he may have to appear at an interview to explain the cancellation but his current application should have cancelled out his prior application on its own. The man was very kind and even chitchated with my husband about the Philippines.

I write this experience to just let you guys know that my experience wasn't so bad as I thought it would of been considering all the bad infopass posts here on visa journey. Also i couldnt find anyone who cancelled an application through infopass and this is to let you know that yes it can be done that way. Last night I was up all night thinking of what could go wrong at this appointment but I have to say I think the trip to LI was worth it. I know for a fact I would not have gotten the same treatment in NYC that I did in Long Island. Everyone else looked relatively happy with the service provided to them also. I did see some other people being called to rooms, I think the may have had more to ask than I did that's why they got to speak in a room. If you have a car and live in NY, I recommend going there for infopasses. They provide free parking and the building is beautiful inside and out.
