An OBIM FOIA request is made to the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) to obtain biometric and immigration records, such as fingerprints, travel history, and case details. Individuals use OBIM FOIA requests to verify their records, support applications, or resolve discrepancies in immigration history. 

Declarations, affidavits, and letters of support are written statements that provide evidence for immigration applications. Declarations and affidavits summarize facts and personal experiences; affidavits are notarized. Letters of support offer personal or character references. These documents help prove relationships, financial support, or credibility in immigration cases. 

Passport photographs are official color photos required for immigration documents like visas, green cards, and passports. They must be 2 x 2 inches, with a centered head, plain white background, and no glasses or head coverings unless medically or religiously necessary. Photos must be recent, high quality, and meet all specifications to ensure acceptance. 

 Live Scan electronically captures and transmits your fingerprints for background checks required by agencies such as the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI to verify your identity and criminal history for applications like visas, green cards, licenses, and more. The DOJ is responsible for processing criminal history information in California, ensuring accurate results for employment, licensing, and other state-regulated uses.
