To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
By means of the following, I request information on asylum request statistics by port of entry in the south border states --California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas. Please detail how many asylum requests were received by port of entry during FY-2006-2012, as well as the nationalities involved, also by port of entry. I request, as well, a copy of your most recent guidelines on how to treat and process asylum requesters.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Victor Michel

Dear Victor Michel
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Division received your letter inquiring about a FOIA request that you previously submitted to CBP reference FOIA number CBP-2015-001126 and CBP-2014-044428.
This letter is to confirm that your FOIA request has been received by CBP and will be processed in the order it was received. Once responsive records are available, you will be notified electronically by CBP FOIA that records are available to view via your FOIAonline account. If you already have a FOIAonline account, you can view or print responsive records from your account. If you do not already have a FOIAonline account, please create one by taking the following steps:
* Simply go to your search engine (i.e., google, etc.) and type FOIAonline, then hit enter, that will take you to the FOIAonline site.
* From there, press the green button on the right “Create an Account” and follow the prompts to create a FOIAonline account.
* Make sure when creating your account you use the same email address that you provided when submitting your original FOIA request – that way the email addresses in your original FOIA request can be synched with the FOIAonline account you create.
Submitting a FOIA request online is the preferred method (vs. postal mail) for many reasons:
* You immediately receive a unique FOIA tracking number and acknowledgment that your FOIA request was received by CBP.
* You can track your FOIA request any day/any time through your FOIAonline account.
* When responsive records become available, you receive an email letting you know records can be viewed via your FOIAonline account,
* You can view all of your historical FOIA requests via the “dashboard” in your FOIAonline account.
In the future, please use your FOIAonline account to submit future FOIA requests to CBP. Please note that all FOIA requests for official travel records on an individual must include 1) the subject’s name, 2) the subject’s date of birth, and 3) third party consent. If this information is not provided with the original FOIA request, it will be considered “insufficient”, and will not be processed.
Finally, the CBP FOIA office has a significant backlog of FOIA requests. The expected response time for a FOIA request for travel documents is 9 – 12 months. If you do not receive a response to your FOIA request within 20 business days, please do not resubmit the same FOIA request as it creates further delays. We are working very hard to clear the FOIA backlog and we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
CBP FOIA Division
