Where can an EB-5 investor schedule their InfoPass appointment?

Generally, you should request an InfoPass appointment near where you live. Another NY office may be able to assist you.

You should attempt scheduling online during non-traffic hours or walk in into your local office.

Typically, an InfoPass appointment is usually scheduled online prior to appearance. As a result, make sure you are scheduled online before showing up at any of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices. It is not a good idea to simply travel to any office as you are not likely to be allowed to meet any official without a scheduled appointment. Advisably, work with either an EB-5 attorney or your attorney.

From the question it appears that you have acquired your lawful permanent residency, perhaps on a conditional basis. Typically you would get a temporary I-551 stamp showing that you are a lawful person of residency in the District Office of the USCIS who has jurisdiction of your case.

Getting an appointment in another state can be tricky and could only be done under a discretionary basis.

Keep in mind that it is now possible to schedule InfoPass appointments at some U.S. consulates abroad, although we are experiencing some issues due to lack of training when it comes to stamping the passports, so this option should only be considered as a last resort.

Most offices will let you walk in and wait. First thing in the morning is the best time to book as new appointments open up.
