To whom this may concern,

I disagree and wish to appeal this finding. Unless records have been deleted results should exist. This is specifically because I myself and others have sent emails to dhsexecsec@hq.dhs.gov or USCIS.ImmigrantInvestorProgram@uscis.dhs.gov containing the mentioned key-strings, if it is helpful I can provide these emails for your reference.

Alternatively, please provide me with the FOIA log for this request and/or reconduct a search.
