Questions
Good to know.
What is a FOIA request?
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lets you request a copy of your own immigration records from U.S. government agencies. For most people, this means the A-File held by USCIS — the file containing applications, decisions, notices, and other records related to your immigration history.
Why would I need my immigration file?
Your file shows what the government has on record about your immigration history. It may be useful before filing a new application, reviewing a previous issue, or speaking with an immigration attorney about your options.
What if I don't know my A-Number?
That's okay. Provide the information you have, and our team will help confirm the details needed to prepare your request.
How long does it take?
USCIS processing times vary. We file your request, track it, and keep you updated throughout the process.
What happens after I receive my records?
Once your records are received, we send them to you. If you would like legal advice or help understanding the information, TerraImm can connect you with an independent immigration attorney.
TerraImm is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We connect users with licensed immigration attorneys and legal professionals; all legal advice is provided by independent licensed immigration attorneys. USCIS determines which records are released and may provide only partial information. If legal advice or interpretation is needed after your records are received, TerraImm can connect you with an independent immigration attorney to review the records and discuss possible next steps.
