The Seventh Circuit reversed the summary judgment in favor of USCIS and remanded, holding that USCIS failed to conduct an adequate search in response to the plaintiff’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which sought “all documents reflecting statistics” about H-1B visa applications. USCIS responded to the request by providing a single data table it had created, later telling the plaintiff that more records would “only create additional confusion.”
