Performing File Requests
========================
When to Perform
After conducting the CIS check and processing the G-325A, if applicable, the contractor should follow the steps for external file requests.
If no files were identified, skip this section and route this application to Data Entry.
Description of File Requests
File requests are those requests for all receipt files and A-files related to the I-485 applicant, so that they can later be consolidated. These files were identified during the CIS check or by the Case Resolution Unit and annotated in list form (both file number and location) on the I-485 processing worksheet. These files may be located internally at the Service Center or externally at another INS office or at the Harrisonburg storage facility.
In addition, File Requests may entail preparation of a request for an
underlying visa petition from National Visa Center (NVC) or an American consulate or embassy.
At this point in the process, only external requests to other INS offices will be made.
Types of Requests
There are four types of requests which can be initiated:
•Internal requests for petitions currently housed at the Service Center;
•Requests to an American Consulate/Embassy and the National Visa Center;
•Requests to the Harrisonburg Facility; and
•External requests to other INS offices.
