Thank you very much, to clarify, could you provide information on whether my request is being processed or is it still in a queue?

In February, I received an email saying my request was "on day 107 of an estimated 116 day wait time".

Can you let me know how far my request has advanced in the queue and/or provide an estimated time for documents to be released?

Thank you,
Taylor Amarel

A no responsive documents response.

From: Taylor Amarel Scott

To whom this may concern,

I disagree and wish to appeal this finding. Unless records have been deleted results should exist. This is specifically because I myself and others have sent emails to dhsexecsec@hq.dhs.gov or USCIS.ImmigrantInvestorProgram@uscis.dhs.gov containing the mentioned key-strings, if it is helpful I can provide these emails for your reference.

Alternatively, please provide me with the FOIA log for this request and/or reconduct a search.

Best,
Taylor Amarel
