What is a FOIA?
You should consider obtaining a copy of your Immigration file and or court hearings (if applicable). You are entitled to a copy of your Immigration file and or court hearings under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). On average you can expect to wait up to or over one year to receive a complete copy of your Immigration file, so it is important to ensure the paperwork is filled out correctly from the beginning, as unanswered questions may lead to further delays. A FOIA request will be expedited only if you are currently in proceedings, then you can expect to wait several months.
