Q:  What is a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, and how can it help me prove my U.S. citizenship?

A: A FOIA request allows you to access records from U.S. government agencies that may contain relevant information to prove your citizenship. This could include immigration or citizenship records of your parent(s), or other documents that demonstrate your eligibility for U.S. citizenship. An attorney can help you file a FOIA request to gather necessary evidence.
