I called 202-324-3000. :-)

According to FBI, my mail got received by FBI on October 27th and when I called them for status last Friday (2/13), the guy said my background check has been completed and they will mail out the report in 48 hours. Today (2/15) is a national holiday so maybe it will be mailed out tomorrow. He...

Got it. Thank you rhcohen and michmin. I now understand that the bottom line is, we cannot send the FBI report to them until we get the SA and the corresponding application number.

I don't know who has done this but I have a very loud and vocal cat and I am not sure how I could bring him into Canada. I do not want to fly with him with other passengers around since he is very, very vocal. I am thinking of shipping him off via cargo. Do I have to be at the destination when...

Thank you!

Thank you all very much for all your comments. I will definitely send the photocopies instead of the original.

Cool! Thank you!!

Thanks guys. They said it would take 2-3 months to get the police check back for Japan (FBI takes about the same amount of time but I already submitted it a few weeks ago for that), so I guess that's that. Total bummer, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

I already submitted a request to FBI, but I need some guidance. I am 55 years old now and am a US citizen (used to be a Japanese citizen). I moved to US when I was 22. I wonder if I need police clearance from Japan also?

Got it. Thank you very much. I will find a translation service company that can certify the translated material as well as can notarize.

Thank you very much for your responses. I did say I do have a birth certificate from Japan, but it's actually a family register which is the closest thing to a birth certificate if you were born in Japanese under a Japanese family (just like in South Korea, it sounds like). I also have my...

Can someone tell me what I need to provide for "Identity and Civil Status Documents"? I am a naturalized US citizen, so the documents I may be able to send for this are my passport and Certificate of Naturalization. (US doesn't issue National Identify Cards.) I was born in Japan and I do have a...

I imagine all the email correspondence from CIC goes to the sponsor, not the sponsored?

Just this weekend, I printed Page 5 canuck mentions and went to a local photo/copy shop, and showed the guy the guidelines and asked for 8 photos. The guy said they do this often (Canada PR photos - I live in Silicon Valley.) and he said the machine knows to scale the photo just right and he...

Cool. Thank you very much. That makes me feel better.

I would like to thank both of you for your replies. I do have one question regarding what andrew said above however. It's OK as long as we submit the application within one year of medical exam, or you mean that your application needs to be approved before 1 years has passed since the medical...

I have made an appointment with a CIC approved physician for a medical exam, and the receptionist told me they would send the results to CIC electronically. But my husband and I are in the process of gathering information and filling out documents, so we haven't even applied for spousal...

Thank you keesio!

I went to County Sheriff's Office after work tonight, and got an old fashioned finger printing done on a finger print card with black ink! I hope this is what CIC accepts. I have already filled out the identity history summary request form, so I will send it with the fingerprint card to FBI via...

WOW!!! Thank you very much for your quick responses and invaluable advice! I will definitely handle it directly with FBI. Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!
