Fairfax Office Parking

[naiku 0]

Has anyone been for an interview at the Fairfax, VA office? if so, what is the parking like in the area? I saw on the USCIS website that it says there is very little public parking. A satellite image shows plenty of parking, but I am not sure if it is offices, the only public parking I can see closeby is for a Metro station, which will most likely be full by the time I head down for my interview.

Thanks.

The only parking I know of there is at the Dunn Loring Metro Station across the street. Since those lots tend to fill up with commuters, you may have trouble finding parking there unless your appointment is quite early.

We used Metro to get to the office there and found it was the best way to go.

I figured the same about the commuter lot filling up early, my appointment is not until 10:40am and those lots are usually full by 8am. Taking the Metro there is not really an option, closest station to me is Vienna (still a minimum of an hours drive, not including morning traffic) and Vienna fills up real fast on a weekday.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I hope it's still will be useful for you. I've been in Fairfax office 4 times now (twice for the interviews and twice for the Infopass). When you drive on Prosperity ave. from Rt 29 toward the USCIS office, you will see a turn right after you pass the building - there is a huge parking lot right behind the USCIS building. The first lot you see after turning off Prosperity is free but permit only and the next one to the left is 5 bucks per day but always have availiable spaces. That's where I always parked. It's annoying you have to pay for it, but in the scheme of all immigration expenses 5 bucks for parking is really nothing.

Very useful, my interview is on the 23rd November so a few weeks to go yet. Thanks for the info! and you are right, $5 is nothing compared to previous expenses with all of this.
