Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") for Immigration Records

Government immigration records can clarify unknown entries and exits, prior applications, interactions with immigration enforcement, and even possible citizenship claims. A Freedom of Information Act request is often the essential first step before choosing an immigration strategy.

Border Crossing Law Firm requests your records from the relevant agencies, then reviews them and provides a plain-English assessment of what they mean for your options.

Border Crossing Law Firm handles this service for a clear flat fee of $800. Work on your case begins with the first payment. Government filing fees are separate and not included in the legal fee.

Government filing fees (as of July 2026)

Government filing fees change frequently. We confirm the current amounts with you again at the time of filing, and the firm is not responsible for government fee increases.

What the flat fee includes

This service covers record requests and assessment; it does not include filing the underlying immigration application or court case.

After the first payment, the firm e-mails an Attorney-Client Contract for electronic signature, a link to the online intake form, and a checklist of documents to start collecting. Attorney Shahid Haque is available by e-mail, phone, and video throughout the case.
