On October 14, 2010, a new field office was opened by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in Holtsville, Long Island. The grand opening was commemorated by a ribbon cutting ceremony, which was presided over by the Director of USCIS, Alejandro Mayorkas along with Andrea Quarantillo, USCIS New York District Director, and Charles Akalski, the new Holtsville Field Office Director.
Director Mayorkas expressed his pride in opening the new USCIS field office in Holtsville. He also stated that USCIS is working hard towards offering an excellent customer service by providing accessible locations all over the country.
Following Director Mayorkas, Andrea Quarantillo, USCIS District Director mentioned that the USCIS customers in Suffolk, Nassau, and Queens Counties need not travel to other USCIS field offices anymore for fingerprinting and other immigration services, thanks to the new Holtsville office.
The location of the new USCIS office was chosen on the basis of its accessibility to all major traffic routes. The new USCIS field office is fully equipped and can serve up to 400 USCIS customers from Suffolk, Nassau, and Queens Counties per day. This new 47,000 square foot field office has been opened by USCIS to provide its customers with customer-friendly, easily accessible, and more efficient offices. In the past three years, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has opened its field offices in many other states across the country, including Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Michigan, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Colorado, and New Hampshire.
USCIS customers can now fix up appointments with Immigration Services Officers through the InfoPass customer service tool that the new field office offers. Further, the new office also has a large waiting area, a special room for hosting naturalization ceremonies, as well as rooms to carry out immigration interviews. Around 100 federal and contract employees who previously worked for the USCIS' field office in Garden City have been assigned as staff for this new field office.
