How much of my personal info can be acquired if someone files a FOIA request?

[APA 44]

Speaking strictly regarding my petition and paperwork with USCIS.

Any FOIA response from say USCIS should not include any information that would invade a person’s personal privacy.

 

from the FOIA website
 

Once the agency has processed your request it will send you a written response. This response will let you know whether records were located and will include all releasable documents. If any portions of the records are withheld, for instance because disclosure would invade an individual’s personal privacy, the agency will inform you of the specific FOIA exemption that is being applied.

 

Generally, when requesting information about another person you will receive greater access by submitting authorization from that individual permitting the disclosure of the records to you, or by submitting proof that the individual is deceased. If you request records relating to another person, and disclosure of the records could invade that person’s privacy, they ordinarily will not be disclosed to you.

Great info, thank you. I’m concerned about super invasive family members getting into my personal business.
