The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides the public access, with certain exceptions, to federal agency records. The Office of General Counsel, Executive Office for Immigration Review, responds to FOIA requests for Board records.
Parties wanting to inspect the record may obtain a FOIA from the BIA. Parties to a proceeding, and their legal representatives, may inspect the official record of proceedings by prior arrangement with the Clerk’s Office. A FOIA request is not required.
As a general rule, parties who want a copy of the record of proceedings must file a FOIA request. However, when the record is small or only a portion of the record is needed, parties may contact the Clerk’s Office for assistance in obtaining a copy.
Persons who are not party to a proceeding before the Board must file a request with the Office of General Counsel, Executive Office for Immigration Review, if they wish to see or obtain copies of the record of proceedings. They must file the FOIA request in writing. Requests may be sent to the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

''Final Account'' of estate
On the ''final account'' the attorney states that there is 5k left in the (one) bank account (another account holds 64k in savings). Says there are zero funds to cover benificiaries in the will (supposed to recieve 5k a piece). Question, the POA/Executrix was extremely active in visiting the bank while the person was still alive during the last year of his life, and the year following. What way can we have her steps traced to see if she took liberties with the assets?
Strangely, the ''new'' will was drafted up after the person had a major stroke, a 5 bypass, and was under 50 medications, a fews months before his passing This estate totaled 500k.
I am a homeowner and member of a HOA for 13 years.
For the life of the HOA (28 years) the HOA insurance was collected annually. In May 2009 the board of the HOA association collected $1,200 from each homeowner for 2009 - 2010 insurance. They then increased the monthly fee from $160.00 per month to $280.00 per month claiming that $100.00 of this was for insurance.
The CCR�S say that they can only increase the fee by 20% in any one year unless they get a vote of two thirds of homeowners. The increase is 75%. They refused a petition signed by over 20% of homeowners to have a vote on this increase. I requested a copy of the record of the legal advice that they got in relation to this increase. The reply said that no legal advice was sought.
We have refused to pay the $100.00 stating that we had already paid our insurance in full for 2009-2010 and the 75% increase is a violation of the CCR�S. The board are threatening us with legal action, interest, and penalties, and the damaging of our credit.
Florida Statute 720 (720.305) clearly states the board must comply with the CCR�S and that a member can have redress in law if they violate the CCR�S.
We would like an attorney to represent us by:
(1) confirming the our conclusions above are correct and
by initially writing to the board asking them to desist from threatening us because they are in violation of the CCR�S resulting from the 75% increase.
