A FOIA is an acronym for “Freedom of Information Act.” The request of a FOIA on an Immigration agency is to provide government documents, otherwise lost or unknown by an Immigrant, DACA Recipient, Undocumented Immigrant, or Visa Holder. A FOIA should be handled with care depending on an immigrant’s circumstances. The request may establish a crime or tether an individual to immigration complications. If one chooses to make a request without the aid of an attorney, the request should be exact, in the sense of: date, time, place, agency, and event.
Even though FOIA can be free of charge, setting a limit of charge is a wise move. Generally, a FOIA request may cost $25, but you may wish to increase that amount depending on the amount requesting and the number of agencies.
