Sub: Regarding Expedited FBI Identity Summary for Non-US Citizens
I understand this has been addressed before but I wanted to initiate this discussion again,
I understand that the FBI website is very clear that the expedited process is available only for US citizens or Permanent residents. However, as people on this forum are already aware, there are companies in India which offer an expedited process and promise that the results will be accepted. I had used one such consultancy's recommended agent for my fingerprints which I mailed out personally to FBI. During the process the agent mentioned that they provide the expedited process, but suggested against it for me since I was getting my fingerprints done the day I received my invitation and he felt I had ample time.
However, I want to submit my application asap to cut down my wait time. And so was considering going for the expedite service and re-applying for it. The agent seemed like a professional and trustworthy person. Nonetheless, they do not have a convincing answer to the question about 'What makes them special, when FBI strongly suggests that the expedited process if for US citizens only".
I am confused. So I guess I am looking for a real person to either confirm that this expedited results are accepted by CIC or that this is a real scam. Also I have called a lot of these consultancies and their fees vary from 11,000 INR to 24,000 INR for the expedited process.
