FOIA Request Processing Times Updates

Current Average FOIA Request Processing Times

(All times in business days)

 

USCIS uses a three-track system to process FOIA requests for alien file material.

  • Track One (19 days):  Simple requests;
  • Track Two (32 days):  Complex inquiries that normally necessitate additional search and review time; and
  • Track Three (36 days):  Requests by individuals scheduled for a hearing before an immigration judge.

 

USCIS uses a two-track system to process FOIA requests for non-alien file material.

  • Track One (32 days)
  • Track Two (66 days):  Processing time impacted by sensitivity of records, volume of records and extent of review process.
