Note

We are experiencing a significant increase in privacy requests. Be specific about the information you want to access. For example, if you want file notes about a specific visa decision, include details of the timeframe and application you need.

You can request an entire file, but this will take longer than requesting specific information.

For information about how we will send you the details, check:
