坦帕是移民局佛州中区的大本营：外地办公室在Hoover大道5629号，庇护办公室是另一处地址
佛罗里达州坦帕市是美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）在佛州中部的区总部所在地，这个区（坦帕区）的管辖范围包括坦帕、奥兰多和西棕榈滩三地的外地办公室。坦帕外地办公室本身的地址是 5629 Hoover Boulevard, Tampa, FL 33634，绿卡和入籍等案件的面谈在这里进行，办公时间为周一到周五上午7时至下午3时30分。
在坦帕办移民事务容易混淆的一点是，庇护案件不在这个地址办。坦帕另设有庇护办公室，地址在 3924 Coconut Palm Drive，负责主动庇护申请的面谈，与外地办公室分工不同。收到面谈通知时先看清通知上写的是哪一个办公室、哪一个地址，再按图前往。
和所有外地办公室一样，坦帕办公室不接待无预约上门，USCIS 的统一规则是必须凭预约进入，到访地址以预约或面谈通知为准。移民局也提醒，办公室可能因天气等突发情况临时关闭，出发前查一遍官网的 Office Closings 页面；一般咨询和预约走联络中心 1-800-375-5283。
进了门还有规矩：任何 USCIS 设施都禁止携带枪支、刀具、胡椒喷雾和弹药，持证也不例外；办公室内原则上禁止拍摄和录音录像，入籍仪式等场合经允许的除外。按通知的时间提前到达、带齐通知和身份证件，是面谈日最稳妥的准备。（来源：美国公民及移民服务局）
Tampa Is the District Seat for USCIS in Central Florida: Field Office at 5629 Hoover Boulevard, and a Separate Asylum Office
Tampa, Florida, is the district seat of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for the central part of the state: the Tampa District's jurisdiction covers the Tampa, Orlando and West Palm Beach field offices. The Tampa Field Office itself is at 5629 Hoover Boulevard, Tampa, FL 33634, where interviews for permanent residence and naturalization cases are held, with office hours of 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The point that confuses applicants in Tampa is that asylum cases are not handled at that address. Tampa also has a separate asylum office, at 3924 Coconut Palm Drive, which conducts affirmative asylum interviews under a different chain of work. Anyone holding an interview notice should check which office and which address the notice names before traveling.
Like every field office, Tampa is appointment-only. USCIS states that field offices do not allow walk-ins, that the appointment or interview notice controls the address for the visit, and that offices may close because of inclement weather or unexpected events, so the Office Closings page should be checked before traveling. The USCIS Contact Center, 1-800-375-5283, handles general questions and appointment booking.
Inside the building, federal law prohibits firearms, knives, pepper spray and ammunition at any USCIS facility, even for permit holders, and photography and audio or video recording are prohibited in field offices unless specifically allowed, as at naturalization ceremonies. Arriving at the time on the notice, with the notice and identification in hand, is the simplest way to be ready for interview day. (Source: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services)
