Stamping in Detroit: Infopass, Photo.. Useful info..

[Antipod]

I had my passport stamped a week ago in Detroit local office. A couple of notes for those who are about to do the same:
- If you make Infopass appointment, bear in mind that one appointment is good for 1 or max 2 persons. You will need to set-up 2 appointments for a family of 3 or 4 etc. We had one appt. for a family of 4 and the officer and her supervisor were about to send us back, but our lawyer managed to settle the problem. The reason is simple - there is not enough room for more than 2 people in front of the service windows.
- Our lawyer had said that he received some info through his AILA channels that USCIS will not accept photos with a smile where teeth are exposed. Our pics were with wide happy smiles , but they still were accepted. The lawyer said that the officer probably wasn't aware of the new rule yet.... Who knows.... Better keep your teeth inside, I guess
Good luck everyone!

Office question:

I am sorry but I am kind of confused. I've been to the Detroit service center on the 18th to give my FP2, and did not see any service window. If anything, I saw several FP machines and a couple of offices around (oh...and the TV showing the "immigration movie" over and over again... ). Is there another section to that office? or is there another office?

Thanks for your help and again, congratulations!!!
