My husband and I finally had our green card interview in this office. Our appointment was very…read moreearly in the morning and there were only a few other people there with appointments. Parking is available right in front of the building which you can pay for by credit card or cash. Security staff was friendly but remember to have your appointment invite ready to show them, in order to get into the building. Security was a metal detector and x-ray scanner just like at the airport, and we also had to remove our shoes. You check in on the first floor, just past security, are given a number, then take the elevator to the second floor waiting room. We waited a short time in the waiting room before an officer entered the waiting room, called our number, and led us to our interview room. It looks like for other types of visits, your number will appear on a TV screen (just like the DMV) and you simply approach one of the counters in the waiting room. Our actual interview was maybe 10 minutes and pleasant enough. We brought any and all documentation we could think of for our case, but only ended up showing our mortgage paperwork. Our case was approved on the spot. Overall it was a pretty easy visit and we didn't have a negative experience with anyone working there. Also note that as of November 2021 everyone is still wearing masks in this office so plan to bring one.

This is an appointment-only office that serves Fresno and the surrounding areas…read more I've had a few different appointments in here as part of my immigration process. The USCIS website is fairly user friendly and has a lot of useful information. There's a decent amount of parking around the building, most of it metered so bring quarters. There are also a few different parking lots within a quarter-mile walk if it's busy. They don't seem to be super strict about arrival times: as long as you have an appointment letter they'll check you in then you'll wait to be called regardless of what you're there for. Inside it's a modern building, really clean. Inside the door there's a guard who checks your appointment letter (so be sure to bring that) and ID. There's security to enter the building - an x-ray scanner for personal items and a walk-through metal detector. I was asked to remove my shoes. Then there's another check-in point where they'll put you in the system and tell you where to go. The waiting room I've been in for appointments here is pretty big and spacious, with two restrooms and screens around to display which number is being served (like at a deli). They're not strict about cell phone use (as in using your phone in your hand, not calls) but I usually bring a book. As government buildings go it's a pleasant enough place to wait, but as with all government service buildings I think everyone would probably feel less anxious about waiting if they were to play some quiet music. I've found the staff to be professional, courteous and helpful here, from security to check-in to processing.

Man, what wonderful service I received here. Juliet just about held my hand walking me through all the double checking I wanted to do. Patient, kind and professional, she really brought the human touch (without actually touching a human) to this department. Mary Ann, likewise was awesome and helpful. And it's a good thing, as I had them laughing at my corny jokes, Rob, their supervisor, came up to the front counter as well. As it would turn out, Rob and I go the same church, Riverpark Bible Church. Go Riverpark! Anyway, as a result of this trip and the fantastic service, I learned that I need to take advantage of a 'Homeowner's Exemption Form' that essentially with reduce the value from which the property is taxed about 7K. Hot Dog! Thank you good Lord for the good people you plugged me in with today who further helped me to ensure my interests! I might have missed it were it not for their awesome service! In way of encouragement to you, Juliet, and the staff, your extra attention was so greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work! -G

This building is a must visit or drive through at least once if you are in Fresno. Its not too far…read morefrom anywhere in Fresno and if you just ate at Dusty Buns Bistro, Ampersand Ice cream or just visited the tower district its like minutes away. This building is one of a kind and apparently is a National Landmark originally built in 1916, was the first permanent structure of the Fresno State College campus and is now the iconic center of the Fresno City College campus. Its hard to believe if tourist do not tour this amazing building and take the opportunity to walk around it, because it's so beautiful and unique. During weekdays the building is free to roam inside since its open for classes ( this is a functional college classroom), the building interior is just massive and really feels like something you see in the movies when they portray the schools and hallways. During weekends you can expect to at walk around the building and courtyard and take photo of this iconic Fresno landmark because the interior might be closed. There are plenty of parking around the area, and its free, try to avoid parking on campus since you have to pay for it, instead park near the housing are, its free and easy to get, and its only a walk away. There is a gorgeous courtyard that must be seen, its like walking in hogwarts from harry potter, or at least thats how I felt. Really worth a visit, and walks away is the amazing library, with the same exact architecture but will also amaze you with the grand interior. The building I learned was built of solid brick with tapestry face brick. The roof covering is mission clay tile. Among its decorative features are handmade hard-burned bricks, classic ornamentation at the main and secondary entrances, classic brick arches and stone balconies overlooking central courtyards, and lavish Moorish geometric details in brick on the east and west walls of the auditorium and above the arches of the covered walks around the perimeter of the courts. Its a shame if you dont visit this place.

I saw the pictures of the cherry blossom café and didn't know it was in this building. But I'm so glad I came. If you don't mind going through a phalanx of security and metal detectors, you will be able to see what is one of the most beautiful brutalist style architecture federal court houses in the country. It is richly yet simply appointed with a blend between natural materials, stones, ceramics, metal and glass. Like my favorite in design, the materials and simplify do the talking. The scale is drop dead gorgeous and even the landscape show every bit of it it's $127 million budget. So glad I went off the beaten path to see this beautiful addition to the city. What a treat for the senses and so quiet, roomy...just the way I like it! For those who have historical knowledge of architecture, appreciate build quality and the brutalist style, do not miss this location! -G

It's NOT TRUE. They indeed do until 2:30. I was helped by Monica. She is an amazing employee . She is efficient and kind to boot. She processed my papers, acknowledged another customer, and took my kiddos photos for the passports. I wish all postal workers were this amazing! She made my Day :-)
