A FOIA request to USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) is a formal way to obtain copies of your immigration records or other documents held by the agency under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
🗂️ What You Can Request
You can use FOIA to ask for:
- Your entire immigration file (also called an A-File)
- Copies of forms you've submitted (e.g., I-130, I-485, I-765)
- Interview notes, decisions, and correspondence
- Records related to petitions filed on your behalf
- Status updates or case history
🛠️ How to File a FOIA Request
You can submit it:
- Online via the USCIS FOIA portal
- By email, mail, or fax using Form G-639 (optional but helpful)

@samuel Hernandez thank you for your response, do I need a lawyer to help me or can I do it myself? Is this a good sign for my case status?
Antoto JoanaSep 26, 2025
is there any issue with your case?
Mike SergileSep 27, 2025
@antoto Joana, I don’t know, they never approved my cas
I can't wait to see if the green card is really green Sep 27, 2025
same for me
I just ignore it

@chasing Greencard, it’s not a big deal if I ignore it?

I would talk to someone one that could help in that topic if you know anyone in the notary public that work on small immigration issues they could help so everything is done correctly just follow the instructions on the portal.

I request one for my case by myself because i thought my case was talking long as i keep seeing everyone getting interview or approval I don’t know if it end up slowing down my case even more or what but it’s usually a good thing to do so you can backtrack your whole immigration process
