Reopening requests closed under revised or rescinded guidance (refiled)

This is a second version of an earlier request. It asks whether USCIS considered, adopted or declined any process to reopen, re-review or notify people whose records requests were closed since September 16, 2025 under guidance USCIS has since revised or rescinded. It also asks for any legal review, cost or volume estimate, and decision record.

Why it matters
People whose requests were closed under guidance that later changed could be affected. These records would show whether USCIS considered reopening those requests or telling those people.
