I’m currently in the process of helping an immediate family member file their last “pardon” after being 10 years out of the USA. Since they don’t have any of the paperwork from their previous arrests at the border, AND arrests from when they had a DUI since they were last here, I’m trying to file a FOIA on their behalf to recover any documents relating to those incidents AND ANYTHING they would have on them. 1. Can I even file a FOIA on someone elses behalf and do I need their permission? (I’m assuming not) 2. What agency would I have to file this with? (I’m assuming Homeland Security) 3. I’ve read the requirements of what the email,letter,fax would have to have; but is their a template that I can go by in order to make it as clear and professional as possible? 4. Would I be emailing,mailing,etc, the request to a specific agencies address or can it be their regular email/mail adress they suggest on their homepage? 5. Would it be best to get someone who has more experience in filing these requests to do it for me, or it wouldn’t make a difference? Any and all types of help is really appreciated!
