I haven't done a FOIA form but some speculate it speeds up the process for the FBI name check. I don't know if it does or doesn't but a FOIA request is also at the governments discretion of how long they want to take to reply and they can censor the information they send you. What are you hoping to obtain?

I've heard of people filing it after a case is returned -- to obtain the consular's notes -- but not while in the AR/AP stage. I have to say I'm doubtful that such a request would be successful, as it comes at a point when the "investigation" (or review or whatever you want to call it) is still ongoing.

Let us know if you find out any more info on this -- I'm sure a lot of people would be itching to know what notes are in their file...

I have heard the opposite, and that it has no bearing on the process. One thing that was recommended to me at the AOS stage was to request the FBI file for my husband directly (have fingerprinting done, etc).

We filed a FOIA, but for a denial not for AP. The response was that for security reasons they don't give out the reasons for denials. With this in mind I would bet that they wouldn't give out reasons for AP as well. Also it took about a year to get a response. To me it was a total waste of time.
