USCIS Issues Guidance Regarding Disclosure of Derogatory Information

States that, if we plan to rely on derogatory information that a benefit requestor is unaware of, we will generally provide a detailed description of the derogatory information in a Notice of Intent to Deny, Request for Evidence, or Notice of Intent to Revoke; and Clarifies when we may not disclose information, such as information that may be classified, sensitive, privileged, or otherwise subject to statutory protections and in other limited circumstances, such as when the information is provided in a third-party record or is subject to disclosure limitations.
