Hello Team, 

We are requesting your good office if we can be provided a list of blacklisted aliens, or foreign individuals that are already overstaying or those who have pending cases. I am a representative of a hotel and would like to get information requested to protect the hotel from illegal guests that may have overstayed in the country , or may have questionable cases. We have a few guests we would like to verify. Thank you.
