Sir,
I once took an InfoPass appointment in 2007 at the Chicago Immigraton office but this visit did not help me at all. Though the people at the counter are polite to speak to, it is possible on complicated issues they cannot answer your question. So ultimately I returned back not satisfied with my visit with the feeling that I should have been directed to someone who could have advised me better.
However, I agree sometimes our questions are quite complex. When we don't understand the laws very well we tend to lose on benefits that very law provides. Example, my husband worked as Radio Officer in shipping companies for 20 years. When the job became obsolete, he had to go back to school to upgrade his skills and joined a community college here as F1 student. He didn't know that post Associate Degree he could do upto one year CPT while continuing his undergraduate education. He opted for OPT and was issued a EAD from August 2007 to July 2008. In the interim period the 17 months extension was announced and he didn't know whether he could apply for extension. On OPT he worked with qualified engineers in Baxter though his degree was an Associate degree because he passed their interview and tests because he actually had 20 years working experience in the technical field. The same problem arises where an H1B is concerned because he does not have a bachelor's degree. He went back to school to complete his transfer courses to pursue a dual degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and his current GPA is 3.87.In short, what is the use of having skilled expertise in the STEM field when you cannot get a job just because you don't have a paper degree in hand?
I truly hope someone in the USCIS will address these kind of issues too. Right now, we can see they are doing a good job steamlining the whole immigration process - a real beacon of hope.
Never heard of predators making a qiuck buck in selling USCIS forms ;)
Never heard of any stories, but good to know that people charge for something that USCIS provides for free.
BTW, it would be helpful for the readers, if you start a thread to answer questions related to EAD renewals and associated delays. That is kind of a hot topic these days, and the delays directly affects a person's current employment situation. So, please consider starting a thread.
Thanks!!!
I took an InfoPass appointment a few week ago. The representative was very nice, but couldn’t answer my questions and told me that I had to take up the matter with his manager, who was absent at that time and no one actually knew for how long. And the cherry on top was that the system was down – there were several people trying to wait it out. All that didn’t come as a surprise, unfortunately. Yours life-long fan, also unfortunately. EB3 ROW.
I ahve used the InfoPass appointment many times and I never got my questions answered. They always give the same answer "We do not have any information on this case. You will have to wait". I am not sure I do understand what their job is since they give this answer to every one. They get paid from our tax money and they do not provide any useful information on a case.
InfoPass appointments are unafficient and unfortunately the only service that Field office provide.
You should think of how to improve it or just dismiss these services.
"Never heard of predators making a qiuck buck in selling USCIS forms ;)"
There are some shady companies that try to make a quick buck. A bunch of companies that charged money for entries in the visa lottery were shut down a few years ago.
And I have seen advertisements from some company trying to get people to pay money for GC renewals.
Did you know that most of USCIS Officer cannot help you because they said it's not their juridiction (i.e. at Tampa office)???? Did you Know that USCIS Officer at counter treat the Immigrants very rude (i.e. Tampa Office)???? Did you know that after more that 30 min. waiting, the USCIS officer yells at you and make a scene and tells you that he cannot do anything (i.e. Tampa Office... again).
@ USCIS Blog Team
Yes, I am aware that these services are free.
I notice there is minimal feedback from the USCIS Blog Team on here. Remember Communication is a two way process. So, please offer some answers to the questions that many individuals ask here on the Beacon.
Can the Blog team please explain the (Pending Employment-Based I-485 Inventory), specifically r/t EB3 "All Other Chargeability."
From my understanding, and please correct me if I am misinformed, the current cut-off date for this category is Jun,22 '03, which implies that the Visa Office issued visa numbers to individuals up until that date. Therefore no individuals after the cut-off date with a later priority date could be issued a visa number for his/her Green Card.
Now, if I look at the "Pending Employment-Based I-485 Inventory" tables posted on this site by USCIS, how do you explain that the pending I-485 cases are decreasing in 2004, 2005, 2006,and 2007? Does this mean that people in EB3 have been issued Green Cards after the cut-off date?
I am familar with the "priority date" and the "cut-off" date, and the fact that the VO manages these numbers. Congress sets the number of employment based visas awarded ie 140,000, and each group gets a percentage of the visa numbers. So, in EB3 there should be 28.6% of the 140,000 which translates to about 40,040 visa numbers anually. Each country has a cap of 7%, I am from a country that traditionally seeks a small number of visa numbers each year, so how does USCIS explain these allocations after the cut-off date, and is there a fair distribution of visa numbers for "other chargeability" individuals?
These are the type of questions that the USCIS staff were not able to answer on my Infopass appointment.
Maybe I will get some clarification here.
Thank you.
I would suggest posting more important issues like delay in processing applications I765(EAD)or I131(Travel Document) than just posting a matter about free forms available which really does not help much for most immigrants.
USCIS,
You are credible only if you make all the I-140 approved cases to apply I-485, as soon as possible and issue EAD/AP, lot of people are waiting in the USA because of this. And you are not keen to give H1B extension to people who work and live here legally, even though they paid taxes for the past 10 to 14 years as Good as citizens. Please allow all I-140 approved cases to do Adjustment of STatus. You take law on your hands and play with the life of 1 million Legal immigrants. that is real ridiculous thing.
Is there any explanation of the delay on EAD and Parole visa application? Thought, you have enough resources and manpower to do these taks...just wasting our tax money for not being effective and efficient.
Info Pass appointments are unafficient and unfortunately the only service that Field office provide.
If Uscis had the proper systems in place then we wouldn't have to call
By the responses looks like we r getting what we pay for.
This is not fair on your part EB3-India never moves past Nov 2001. that is something discrimination. Please move dates as good as EB2-India.

Next month is going to be ????? that is real depressing USCIS.
The Beacon blog team,
Can you shed some light on what to do if the EAD renewal did not come through on or before the end of last EAD validity period? I am hearing that NSC is late processing the EAD.
Thanks you
great to hear that USCIS forms and infoPass appointments are free, outside people are charging but here at USCIS it is free.Now more info need on EAD renewal.
It's a shame people take advantage of the unsuspecting. My mother bought several forms online that she could have obtained for free.
This is ridiculous. For the poor and slow service you offer for your customers you are asking more money to keep all your employees in job !!!
Really are you guys not shame on this fee hike?
We will be happily ready to pay increase in fee, but what do we get finally ??
Keep a dead line for your employee to process an application within 6 months, otherwise demote or fire them. Then, you can stream USCIS as world class organization. Otherwise go to hell for this fee rise.
Really Funny People are selling USCIS forms.
Good thing that you have made these forms available for free. Yes, there are unscrupulous individuals (even companies) who make profit by selling these forms. More informative blogs needed here. Thanks for the information though.
Is there any rule on the minimum number of days that an employee needs to work for an employer? I was with the sponsoring employer for 4 years then used AC21 because the sponsoring company was acquired by a bigger company. Now I am with this bigger company for another 1.5 years. Now if I change my job 2 months after getting my green card, will there be any issue? Any guidance from the USCIS blog team on this will be highly appreciated.
"Any guidance from the USCIS blog team on this will be highly appreciated."
These guys are not lawyers.
You need to talk to your lawyer.
Please use some common sense.
This is JUST a hike of fees - what the end of story?
Educate yourselves, people! I can't believe people are being so easily taken advantage of, especially when all the information they need is one simple smartphone click away...
Just to let you know there are websites such as this one that charges $30 dollars to download these forms when you can find them for free in the USCIS website. Unbelievable!!!!
https://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/form-i130.html
Forms are rather staight forward although calculating the number of days in last five years outside of the US for someone who looking for citizenship based on marriage i.e. 3 years is a redunant question. Also, who at the USCIS decided that the photos must and name and number written lightly in pencil on the back, clearly someone with no clue at all as it cannot be done properly.
Dumb people do dumb things... There'll always be somebody to pay for something that's really free.
Thanks for the warning. Those scammers should be punished.
With the very serious problems of both domestic and international terrorism, I would hope we would want to keep homeland security free of predators and scams as it is so vital to our physical and psychological safety. Let's put the country first.
"free services offered by USCIS are sold to unsuspecting individuals by those seeking to make a quick profit" ..Well not many may be doing that way but they may be offering some additional value added service and charging for it.
Without proper help these forms are way too complicated for many people
Not everything is free. There are forms that cost considerable sums of money.
This is useful information, however, that must be spread to the unsuspecting public, I will do my part. Before cruising around and finding this site and clicking around I did not realize there were so many forms for so many things.
I can see how this might become a profitable racket. Capitalism, with all its greatness, does have its predators. Let the buyer beware!
Never under estimate the lengths people will go to to scam you out of your hard-earned cash. Do what the USCIS say and stick to get your information direct from them. If something sounds too good to be tru then it probably is!
I can't believe that there are people out there who would actually try and charge for the USCIS forms which are free to download.
Surely something should be done about this if people are making money from selling government forms??
You are credible only if you make all the I-140 approved cases to apply I-485, as soon as possible and issue EAD/AP, lot of people are waiting in the USA because of this.
Most of people it is a trust people who come in U.S to make business or for study or for a good job.
Yes very said that people take advantage of others this way
As president of a small, local veterans association and operator of an ebook website, I try to offer as many FREE benefits manuals for addicted, sick, homeless and vets, dependents and immigrants as possible. Although we do sell ebooks by commercial publishers, we would never sell government ebooks, manuals or forms designed to be given away for free.
I am working on a website exclusively as a service for vets. Would you consider letting me offer your forms as free downloads? Or at least, letting me link directly to your forms download page?
Until completion of said website, I will be referring my readers, browsers and surfers looking for USCIS forms to you.
Than you for all you do.
These services are offered free of charge by USCIS, but they do cost money. To design all the forms and to maintain local offices where infopass appointments take place aren’t necessarily cheap.
Immigrants are effectively paying for these services through application fees.
But some are tricked into paying more, by falling prey to websites and individuals who somehow manage to sell them.
Although selling USCIS forms is not nearly on the same level as green lottery scams yet, it is still troublesome.
It is great that the USCIS provide all of these services for free. However, shame on the people who are using this to try and con people and make themselves rich. Those kind of people are scum.
These people should be made an example of. Too often things like this are not given the airtime and publicity they should get.
It's time to get tough!
right always be skeptical of things that are sold especially when you think that they should be free of charge..this does not only apply to USCIS services but to many others
Found this by accident and crazy that people sell the forms people get for free. I would say though that there are a lot of comments and no feedback from the blog owner. Maybe buying the forms are a better option if you can get some answers.
"Never heard of predators making a qiuck buck in selling USCIS forms ;)"
Unfortunately the same game play not only by selling USCIS forms but by selling any free goods. We always have to watch out for swindler.
Short post but it provides useful info on where to get the USCIS forms for free by mail or by downloading them. Let the buyer beware...
I just say thank you for this information I did downlood here on the site.
It is great that the USCIS provide all of these services for free. However, shame on the people who are using this to try and con people and make themselves rich. Those kind of people are scum.
Anything that can speed up ingress and egress
to Haiti would be appreciated.
There are a number of General Aviation Groups that flew missions of mercy during the Haiti Disaster and are still flying them.
Operation Teacup pilots were some of the first on the scene as they were during Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ike and Gustav.
Operation Teacup is a group of over 10,236 volunteer aircraft owners and pilots who have volunteered their skills and paid
their own expenses, averaging over
$1,500 per trip and have flown
tens of thousands of miles.
http://operation-teacup.scieron.com/haiti.htm
The group was organized during Hurricane Katrina by Baldy Ivy
of http://www.pilotsharetheride.com
and Fred Quarles, both long time
pilots.
Bahamas Habitat and Agape Flights
have worked together to deliver over 300,000 pounds of food, tents
and building supplies. Angel Flights also participated.
One Operation Teacup pilot flew
multiple planeloads of water filters from California to provide
a small community with safe drinking water.
Congress has passed a resolution commending the general aviation pilots who have flown these missions.
Thanks for this information. The forms are going to be pretty difficult for people though.
If they cannot help out with the form it don't matter if it is free!
Free? Yes. But useless.
I have also heard of people being charged for services that are already available free. I use my ipad regularly to do a quick search just to make sure that I don't get caught out!
Good post! I am totally appalled by how many free forms and services are sold to unsuspecting individuals. My wife and I were almost victims of such a scam. I reported our situation to BBB, but beyond that I'm not sure what other course of action can be taken.
@ Forex Guy: the forms aren't that bad, if you break them down into smaller manageable parts, and focus on one at a time.
People need to be vigilant and do their own due diligence in order not to be taken advantage of. It is not unfathomable to think that someone would try to make money selling something that is free it is done all the time. Some people are willing to pay, because of the ease aspect and the fact that they are not willing to research on their own.
As someone who makes a living trading commodities, I can assure you that USCIS forms are not a large part of the markets. ;-) Really tho, it is sad to see people scamming free resources.
Hey, people are always trying to make a quick buck.. people will pay for the convenience, they would pay 50 dollars for something free, because they don't want to have to look any further..
People are actually too lazy to take all the advantages of internet and that's the main reason of spending money on literally free stuff. Just my thoughts.
Some people are totally clueless about this free services/resources. Some of them don't have the internet or don't know how to use it. So is much easier to pay some one to serve you all on the platter.
That's news to me that their any of these sort of scams going on.
But then again, I wasn't aware that the USCIS had a website either; maybe more could be done to get the word out about USCIS's website and it's services.
It’s free: I took an InfoPass appointment a few weeks ago. Scheduling your own appointment costs you nothing make your appointment via the Internet from laptop at home, or the computer at your local public library choose one of 12 languages you want to work in Select “Make An Appointment” Type in your mailing address ZIP code select the type of appointment you need to solve your problem Its very always important Provide your name, date of birth, ZIP code and telephone number, choose a time and date for your appointment, and when the appointment notice appears on your computer screen all the information like (time, date and location of your appointment), print it out to show at your InfoPass appointment.
People always find ways to take advantage when there is a breach in the legal statements.
Thanks for free download! I'm not US Citizen, but it's really help me to know this information. It's shows that how valuable the information right now. :)
Information online should continue to be as free as possible. Whenever someone asks for money for a product like information, do a quick search for what your looking for somewhere else - chances are you'll find it for free.
Some people know no shame. This may be legal, but should be illegal.
"free services offered by USCIS are sold to unsuspecting individuals by those seeking to make a quick profit" ..Well not many may be doing that way but they may be offering some additional value added service and charging for it.
Thanks for the free download. More people need to know about these.
Info pass selling USCIS forms,its not possible because its not a business and many of them are make profit from USCIS forms. I need more information for info pass appointments, if possible please provide me.
I actually didn't know that they were free. But they should be free in the first place. It's just forms.
Good post!am working on a website exclusively as a service for vets. These people should be made an example.
A lot of individual will do anything for a quick buck at the expense of the uninform. It would be wise to put a watermark that it is free and of no charge :)
But good job for keeping the public inform that it is free
Thanks for the Info.
No one wants to be charged for something they can get for free.
Free is free, its redicolous to pay for that.
Best regards
Thanks for the warning. Let the buyer beware!
These services are offered free of charge by USCIS? or they do cost money?
A lot of people already know that the forms are free :)
I took an InfoPass before but I wasn't satisfied with the representative's answer to my questions but I'm sure other people's questions were answered. Thanks for the effort ;)
Thanks for the heads up, some people have no shame.
Sometimes people are too trusting or too lazy which allow unscrupulous people to profit.
Yes a lot of people know the forms are free, but tend to forget and or appreciate they do cost money.
A little time spent learning how to use computers and the internet would be time well spent. It would help save money somewhere.
There will be always people who are ignorant, lazy or just unaware what's available specially with internet. Also remember that baby boomers generation grew up without computers at school and some find it harder to learn it.
In this case we have problems with 2 different kind off people. First are lazy or ignorant and they do nothing to get forms for free. The other kind of people are bottom feeders, that take advantage of those kind of people.
Unfortunately,many people do not have use of the Internet. They cannot afford service, and have to use community resources to access the Internet. In the case of someone who is willing to pay for the forms, I say let them, but lets get the word out to the grass roots community, faith based programs, community centers, workforce centers, and reach out the people who can afford to get ripped off the least. Today the distribution of knowledge should be the simplest matter a society faces.
Fine services to offer.It all depends on the size of the city you live in and how many people are applying to that particular USCIS office. The more k1 fiance/k1 fiancee visa immigration to your city, the longer it takes to get an appointment.
dennish
This is a great resource that everyone needs to look into. If you don't have access to the internet, try and go to a local library, where you can research this material.
With the high demands of technology there are really lots of individuals who are hunger of money and making profit from this, since not everyone also uses internet. Quit sad for those people who are like this. Thanks for this!
Hello, this is a very nice blog to read. Thank you so much for the priceless information about USCIS forms, I was looking for it by internet marketing
The society always had opportunists who look for ways to make easy money, I doubt if we can change it with the computers and internet usage. It is common sense however, to investigate before you act and a lot of people fail to follow this basic method.
People without internet access and those with little knowledge of the process are the usual victims here.
We can't completely stop people who will go to lengths just to get a quick bucks but we can improve the local knowledge of our services
I was unaware that this was gong on. I'm glad to see this posted, and brought to the attention of the general public. It demonstrates how clever scam artists can be, and shows that people will do almost anything to make an easy buck. I also agree that people should attempt to first do some research before they pay for forms to see if they are available for free.
Such act is not uncommon to us. Life is not getting any better. Someone surely takes advantage of the other one's kindness to gain profit. We must be aware of such scheme. It will save us the trouble.
By the way, thank you for these free forms and appointments.
"In this case we have problems with 2 different kind off people. First are lazy or ignorant and they do nothing to get forms for free. The other kind of people are bottom feeders, that take advantage of those kind of people."
I think the problem only with the first kind of people.
Thanks for the guidance and heads up, much appreciated.
Thanks for keeping us informed and for free download.
I never knew this so thanks for the info - I always feel like someone some where out there wants to scam me - what a world we live in. Thanks again
Thanks for the info
It's a shame people take advantage of the unsuspecting. My sister bought several forms online that she could have obtained for free.
Thanks for the warning.
Education and getting the word out on services availability and where to access is the key. I noticed that a Google Search on "USCIS forms" brings up your website with links to forms to download at the very top (position #1) of the Google search results.
A search for "Infopass appointments" on Google brings up Make an Appointment (Infopass)- infopass.uscis.gov at the top of the Google Search results.
The issue with connecting with those that most need your services is ensuring those in need know what to search for, especially if English is not their first language.
Never heard of any stories, but good to know that people charge for something that USCIS provides for free of course.
BTW, it would be helpful for the readers, if you start a thread to answer questions related to EAD renewals and associated delays. That is kind of a hot topic these days, and the delays directly affects a person's current employment situation. So, please consider starting a thread.
There is two types of people who will get cheated. One is the lazy never ask (or search) type. Second, is the overly-smart-know-it-all people who thinks nothing is free in this world or "too-good-to-be-true" or "what's the catch?" type. When you offer them something for free, that's the perception they have on you.
Thanks for the heads-up.
This is great information for all i like it thanks
Never heard of predators making a quick buck in selling USCIS forms. I completely agree with andrew ...

i'll be checking more information/details about this,sounds like great ideas and very useful..thanks for sharing this blogs.. ;)
I also concur that individuals must try to very first do some exploration previously they spend for kinds to view if they are available without cost.
You got to be extra careful when you got something for free, as in today modern world nothing is for free.
Thank yo for the information, it is great idea to have forms downloadable from your site.
I agree with idea to have downloadable forms on your site.
Thank you, this is very helpful information and very much appreciated, it will probably save a lot of people from getting taken for a ride.
Yes indeed. This has actually happened to me even though all the info is available for free. Don't be fooled!
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, very few things in life are free :)
Unfortunately,many people do not have use of the Internet. They cannot afford service, and have to use community resources to access the Internet.

I think we should increase penalties on people living cheating others. For many offenders this is a way of life they do not intend to change. If the jail sentences were harder, he would think twice before resorting to this vile way of life.

For more post look at Online Training
Great read. This exactly the kinda of information I've been looking for. I did a Google search for it and eventually lucked up and found this site. Great job!
Thanks
You need to think twice everything you made a certain steps or decision. Make sure you are not fooled.
It seem obvious but there are still people out there that are getting fooled.
I don't understand why this info isn't more publicly known. It seems that there is a lot of info freely available but many people still don't know that. I'm careful enough to do my research(especially on the web) beforehand, but there are many people like seniors who are capable of finding this info.
How sad is it when people take advantage of others. I just heard today that 70% of the wealth in the United States is now controlled by 1% of the people. We are becoming part of a two (2) class society, the rich and the poor. I would venture to say that 95% of the rich obtained their wealth by taking advantage / scamming the middle class and poor. Selling USCIS forms that can be obtained free is just another example of a scam.
iNever heard of predators making a qiuck buck in selling USCIS forms,let it go,well,its a nice post.
Congress sets the number of employment based visas awarded ie 140,000, and each group gets a percentage of the visa numbers, well its good as nothing right at least they still gets a percentage.
very nice blog. and great comments. this exactly the kinda of information I've been looking for. I did a Google search for it and eventually lucked up and found this site.
actually (USCIS) Stands for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services . every one can download from below links.
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
It's great that the US makes this information so readily available. I've gone on some food adventures overseas and trying to get a visa without falling prey to companies selling me what I could have done for free is a little frustrating.
Thanks for being so clear here. I'm sure a lot of people appreciate it!
very informative and thanks for sharing this...this is very important to be aware of this,if it's really true that it's really a free of charge...
Applying for adjustment of status to get a green card or other immigration benefits can be confusing to immigrants. Having free access to InfoPass appointments is a wonderful but for some traveling log distances for the appointment is not a reasonable possibility.
Very interesting topic. We are being taken for a ride by people who are trying to sell us this info. Thanks for being so informative. Now if there was only a way to get this info to the masses.
I appreciate the posts. Very informative. I was looking for this.
Ya'll need to just relax about the forms, they are very easy compared to some of the stuff other governments make their people do. In Romania for example you have a darn form to fill out to do any stupid thing, When buying an archery set at a sport store, I had to fill out a police issued form stating that I will not shoot any person with the bow etc..
Just stupid and time wasting.
A very short but well written piece. Its too bad more people, i.e.: immigrants don't know about this. Hopefully your post will help spread the word.
Again thank for the information.
Educate yourselves, people! I can't believe people are being so easily taken advantage of, especially when all the information they need is one simple smartphone click away... Grow a brain!
John's comment above makes a great point. We do have it pretty good here in the most part in the US. I traveled abroad recently and the forms process was frustrating for sure. With that being said, why can't we aspire to better and to become the best again.
@best internet business - I agree! It's just silly that people would waste time on this nonsense.
You could look at it as taking advantage of but it saves time and effort paying a few bucks instead of searching hours sometimes.
Thanks for looking out for your people! How about paying for something you could easily get for free on the website?
It is frustating sometimes when people try to make a quick buck at your expense.
It is a very good idea to have forms available on the net, it should be more of them.
Those services are so prevalent -- on any search you do these days for help with forms or immigration questions. It's important to know that they exist and if any of them are asking for money.... you are on the wrong page. Thank you for brining this to the attention of the newbies out there. :)
There are some shady companies that try to make a quick buck. A bunch of companies that charged money for entries in the visa lottery were shut down a few years ago.
Some people knows no shame. You should embed it on the form and say that it is free and dont cost a cent. This will help notify the public that the person trying to make a quick buck is doing it at their expense
Thanks for this valuable post. I just want to let you know that I just checked out your site and you rock!. I’m looking forward to read lots more of your articles!
I appreciate the post as well. The online forms are key.
Well everything is online these days., That's the way to do it.
this is really great.i have never seen a lawyer give so much information without paying 300 for a consultation, and they never talk like this.thanks for sharing all of this information.very helpful and useful!
very informative and well recieved piece. it's a shame more people don't know about this free service available to them
There is so much information available for free and it's a shame that some people take advantage of others to make a buck. Perhaps USCIS could have better marketing to inform people what information and forms are available, but in this era of budget cuts that doesn't seem likely.
Buena información. Es de mucha utilidad.
Many times it's services like these that don't get the attention they deserve, let's change this.
If Uscis had the correct systems in place then we wouldn't have to call it.
But by the responses looks like we r getting what we pay for.
USCIS could have better marketing and do alot of things better! But we live in an imperfect world so its best to just grin and bear it for now and count our blessings, we do live in great country, nuff said!
A search for "Infopass appointments" on Google brings up Make an Appointment (Infopass)- infopass.uscis.gov at the top of the Google Search results??
Im going to pass this on so that it can get as much exposure it needs, this is something that should be everywhere. This is a great service.
I am glad that alteast USCIS took the initiative to offer service like this for free. I hope people take best advantage of this that will be a reward for your hardwork
It's always a great thing to see the USCIS offering free services that are beneficial to the people. The only thing about this is that most people don't even know such free services exist, so it's just as important to get this information out to the citizens that really need these services!
this article needs alot of exposure i found it really interesting
this is really great.i have never seen a lawyer give so much information without paying 300 for a consultation, and they never talk like this.thanks for sharing all of this information.very helpful and useful!
Just completed an I-90 renewal. It is so convenient to be able to do it all on the internet with a way to check progress. I believe the USCIS is really ahead of the game. Kudos
Thanks for the info. I never knew that USCIS forms were free. Thanks for the download link. I have passed this information onto my friends.
I also didn't know that USCIS forms were free...appreciate the download link.
I never knew that these forms were free, i really appreciate the info, thanks a bunch
I didn't even know it's free, unbelievable what some people are ready to do. Good thing i found this, tnx.

I personally thought that is not free of charge. My friend told me about this before but I don't believe it is true. Thanks for shading me light
Actually I didn't know about all this. Until I've read your post now. Thanks for the info!
People have been making oodles of money selling free information for years. Look at Mathew Lesko, the guy with the question marks selling information about free government grants and government jobs. At lease he was compiling a lot of data into his books, and providing customer service to his buyers. Selling forms is a bit, well, shady...
Hmmm... Some services the government provides require complex, elaborate applications, and the process of applying and completing forms justifies seeking the help of private companies which end up charging reasonable fees for assistance, however that does NOT seem like the case here. These USCIS forms are free and this government agency will assist you with anything you need help with.
I think the USCIS Blog Team have done a terrific job by posting this matter up for public view. I think it's important that more agencies like the USCIS participate in this effort and make these small issues clear on communal blogs.
It is extremely saddening to see legitimate online marketers get scrutinized due to the ill actions of a few predators and even though this may be a minor issue to some posters here, it is very important to many people who are looking to prevent their own reputation from being shammed by predators who take advantage of people in this way.
Thankyou for putting this up, i'm sure it will go much appreciated by many people.
I didn't know that USCIS forms were free. Thanks for the download link.....I really appreciate this share.
Thanks
Wow !this is really great because i have never seen a lawyer give so much information without paying 300 or more for a consultation, and they never talk like this.thanks for sharing all of this information.very helpful and useful!
These guys would charge for the air we breathe if they could. Thanks mate for the heads up
It's a poor shame people take advantage of the unsuspecting. My grandmother bought several forms online that she could have obtained for free.
nice post! keep it up!
thanks for the info! it definitely help lots of innocent people
this is very helpful! thanks alot
Before buying anything, I always try to find proper information. It is so easy now with internet.
I have used the InfoPass appointment previously many times and I never got my questions answered. But I'm glad that this post makes clear that USCIS provides all of these services for free.
Every one of us get ripped off sometimes, you learn all your life and still die stupid.
I never hear that before, before I will get some gov form like this I will inquire first so that I may not encounter such things...
Everybody should be aware of this particular kind of ripe off: buying something that is free. Too many try to take advantage of the weak and uninformed.
The article is nice and its pleasant to read.I have known very important things over here which i have not known before.
I think this is the best facility that you can provide to your citizens. I would like to avail this too... Very nice of you...

It's a shame that in the best government in the world for people to take advantage of those least prepared to deal with out of control commercialism.
They may have precious little money or even be completely flat broke. Taking advantage of people in this situation without helping them significantly is just wrong.
If someone's going to offer information to these people they should at the very least perform this as a service and give them links to sites like this one that can truly help those who will help make up our future.
I am not sure about this, nobody would feel challenged by it, advise me please be patient in any situation even. thanks
I'm glad that those forms are free and that people are helping to prevent fraud and looking out for us. Thanks!
I agree that a lot of new immigrants have paid fees for these forms as their English is not good enough.
One should be careful from all who try to provide help (sell forms). Do you homework first and do not be victims of opportunists. Ask friends or relatives first
Wow how can I don't know about that, this facility exactly what I need, great value information.
It really bothers me to see that the government actually takes advantage of people that are not educated about something. This is just plain wrong! Thank you for this site, because it's sites like this that keep people informed of things like this that are going on in our world today. Thank You!
Actually it is a bad new for the people who are selling the form right?
I actually just knew this change, a couple year ago I still pay for that. good news

i didn't really people were selling USCIS forms for profit. i guess people will do anything for a little profit.
appreciate the links though. many people will find these very helpful
people do stuff like this seeimgly everyday across America. sad but it'd part of humanity. i really appreciate you providing us with the resources you have. thanks
I wanted to buy USCIS forms, im so glad i haven't. my gosh.. These predators should be punished, for taking advantage of unknowing citizens. Shame on them right? Or should i be better informed about these kind of things..
I think now the USCIS have increased the fees for application under various categories. One way or the other,since the forms are now not charged means it equates to the same thing.Anyway, it makes sense to keep them free.
Do you have to be a citizen of the US to make use of the USCIS forms?
@ performer5
You do not have to be a citizen to use USCIS forms.
They should be free as we want to encourage people to follow the rules and become citizens and not make it too hard of a process
They should be free but if the process could be expedited for a fee, it might be worth it to some.
It is a real shame that opportunistic people prey upon the people that often can least afford it. Grrrrhh. Thanks for all you guys are doing in helping people come to the country the right way.
@ Chicago jobs
This has nothing to do with the process - we are simply saying the forms themselves cost nothing to download or obtain. You can access them anytime for free on our site or by phone or mail. More at: http://www.uscis.gov/forms
It good to know you are looking after the people, making sure they are getting the online form to sign up for your programs. Yes there are alot of people on the net are trying to make profit on selling these forms. The best bet is to visit this website for more information.
