US Citizenship and Immigration Services

Well, I don’t know if it’s appropriate to write a subjective review on a government agency. I guess I should share some tips with you Unilocalers, just in case that you’re curious.
1) plan your time accordingly: you will be spending extra time going through the metal detector and security. Their checks are much stricter than what they would perform at the airport. Cellular and electronic devices ought to be placed at a separate bin. You will also need to take your shoes and coats off and place all your extra layers onto the bins.
2) go to the right floor: the first floor is for the info pass inquiries; the second floor is for any service that has to do with green cards; the third floor is for any service that has to do with naturalization.
3) friends, families, and lawyers can come with you, as they have a large waiting area in each floor. Nevertheless, they will be required to go through the security as well.
4) cellular and electronic devices are to be «turned off» at the waiting area. I still heard them buzzing at the waiting room. Seriously, people. Follow the law!
5) driving in the downtown area is always tricky. However, the CTA Lasalle Blue line station is «right» outside of the building. I took the CTA brown line and got off at the Lasalle/​Van Buren stop. I then went one (1) block south to the Congress Parkway. If you take my route, as soon as you get to Congress, you will see a large building in front of you with that «proud eagle» U.S. immigration and Custom sign that you all are familiar with. You cannot possibly miss it!
6) If you choose to take the CTA Red Line, get off at Harrison, and walk approximately three (3) blocks north to Dearborn. Then you will turn west onto Congress. Well, if you’re directionally-​challenged, try to transfer to the blue line at Clark/​Lake. As I said before, the CTA Lasalle Blue Line station is located right in front of the destination.
