Mr. Dyer,

This is in reference to your email regarding FOIA case control number F-2014-04752. We have contacted the Chief in the Compliance and Research Branch assigned to the case and have requested an updated estimated completion date. This will take some time because each case is different. The search and review time varies. The time depends on the complexity of information requested and the time it takes to review the material. As soon as we receive a reply, we will inform you.

Thank you for your continued patience. If you have further concerns or any questions regarding any FOIA-related matter, please contact the FOIA Requester Service Center (FRSC) at (202) 261-8484, or fax us at (202) 261-8579 or send an e-mail to foiastatus@state.gov.
