Check Your FOIA Status Requests Online

Individuals seeking access to their immigration records may do so by filling out a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The requests are handled under the provisions of FOIA 5 U.S.C § 552 and usually take around a year so before the documents are copied and sent back to the individual. To obtain information on their FOIA request, individuals have had to call the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) FOIA Requester Service Center. 

Recently, USCIS launched an online FOIA Request Status Check service allowing individuals to receive a response online by entering their assigned control number. You can access the FOIA Request Status Check via the Internet at USCIS.gov.
