When making an inquiry into the INS Alien File, what does the LESC provide?

The correct answer highlights the role of the Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC) in processing inquiries related to the INS Alien File. Specifically, when an inquiry is made, the LESC provides an automated acknowledgment of the receipt of the inquiry. This automated response serves as confirmation to the inquirer that their request has been received and is being processed, ensuring they have a record of their submission and an indication that the process has been initiated.

This acknowledgment is crucial for law enforcement agencies to track ongoing inquiries and to manage their communication with the LESC efficiently. It establishes a clear communication line and helps maintain the integrity of the inquiry process by informing the inquirer that action is underway concerning their request.
