Info Pass

[Successful Pinky 12]

Hello everyone,

 

When should one apply for an info pass?

my conditional green will due on 3/20/2023,(6mos. from now), No ipdate yet with my ROC.

Should I now apply for an info pass? 
And usually how long is the duration of an info pass?

Thank you for your help.

They gave my wife 6 months.... I think it is their discretion.

I've had 10(? might be more than that actually) stamps now, and from several different offices...never less than 12 months. It's even buried somewhere in documents that I can't be bothered to dig out right now, that it should be 12 months. Make sure when it expires they issue a 12 next time.

My wife just got back from her Info Pass appointment today. We were seeking an extension to her Temp GC and they stamped her passport with the I-551 with a 1 year extension. 

 

The process was very easy for those thinking and wanting to schedule one. 

 

I called this past Tuesday Sept 6th and after waiting for about 25 minutes a very nice lady took all our information. She said they'd call us within 30 days. Well, for us they called us back in TWO days and gave us an appointment for the next day which was today!  They only let one person in so I didn't see first hand, but my wife was in and out in 10 minutes with her passport stamped. All they asked was the reason to which my wife responded she needed to visit her mother who is old and sick in Dominican Republic. No more questions and stamped her passport. 

 

Anyone considering and/or needing an Infopass appointment just do it. We didn't wait until 30 days prior to her GC expiring and they still gave us an appointment. (GC expires Oct 24th). Good luck.

Hi! I will have my info pass appointment on Monday. My reason is I’m planning to change work. Did your wife need to show evidence why she need the stamp? In your case, a plane ticket? Any document I should bring? Thank you in advance.

Hey!

 

No, she was not asked for any evidence. They only asked her why she needed the stamp and she said she needed to visit her mother who is old and sick. 

 

That being said, if you do have any documentation, i would take it anyways just in case. I think these appointments can vary depending on who is the person that sees you on the day of your appointment. Perhaps they will ask you for something. If you have it take it!

How many months left before the expiration of the GC when she had her Info Pass?
