FOIA is your right to request everything the government has in your immigration file (A-File): forms, decisions, notes. Free in most cases. Attorneys use it to know exactly where a case stands.
Since January 22, 2026, USCIS requires all requests to be filed online. Here are the 4 steps:
If you already filed a request, enter the number you were given (request number or control number).
When USCIS opens production access for us, you will be able to submit the FOIA request directly here, with step-by-step help in Haitian Creole, and we will watch the status for you. No other tool does that in Creole.
