Congrats Agrisiva.

Seems it takes ~ 11 weeks since submission to CIC until you get AOR + Medical request.

Good luck to all.

Hi guys!

Yesterday, I got my AOR and request for medical test to be done within 60 days. But there was no date on their letter to calculate that :(

They received my CIC appln on Feb 20 and mailed my AOR on May 6th. My NOC # 2171.

Regarding the proof of fund will just the bank statement in writting that the following a/c holder has XXXX dollars in his account as of XXX will be good enough? or do we have to show the transaction history page aswell. Can someone give me any ideas regarding this?

I dont have enough money in my checking account right now and I am not planning to show family property with affidavit. will it be okay if I ask my family some additional money and return them back once the statement is created. Is that a good idea?? I'll appreciate any ideas.

Hi to Everybody,

A Question to those who have already done medical - What kind of medical test is done for CIC process ? It is just general test or does is cover blood and other detail test ? What we need to give to doctor for the test ( apart from photos).

Thanks
Mani

urine test, blood test, x-rays
apart from the photos and forms you need to give to your doctor $$$$ and 1 hour of your time


I hope this helps!!

In addition:

They check your eye-sight (if you wear glasses). That's all they require.

Thanks Nomad. I've some questions . regarding the fbi record check I couldnt find out the place who distribute finger print card so I printed out the finger print pdf from (www.FBI.gov) I actually prefer finger print card rather than the internet printout....anyways hope this should work. Has anyone gone through similar situation. Can there be any problem with it??
I made my state pcc today. It only took me 10 min to get it. All i had to do was fill a one page state criminal history record form. It has my name , D.O.B and social security. i signed the form and submitted with 10 dollar fee. They made me wait for 4 min and came back with a DPS stamp on the form where on the bottom it is checked on no record found. So is that it? I was expecting 2-3 wks as per reading old threads so thats why I am little curious if thats all CIS need. I will appreciate any idea and suggestions .

Peter,

The local Sheriff office should provide you the finger printing cards. For FBI, the internet printsouts are good enough and I had done the same.
But some states like Georgia, do not accept the internet printouts for PCC. But they post you the cards on request if your local Sheriff office cannot provide them.

I am sharing this from my experience.

some questions to the seniors regarding the fbi record check. I am sending the internet print out of fingerprint form from www.fbi.gov.
in the cover letter there is an option for us to choose reason for expeditious handling(optional). what did you folks choose in your case??
