ready for your mind to be blown. My FBI Clearance took 18 WEEKS!

However I believe you can ask for an extension. They will not process your application without it. And you do not have a good enough excuse as to why your couldn't get it from the FBI. (long wait time does not equal "I do not have to submit one"

Also you can call the FBI and check where in the process they are with your FBI clearance. They took the number down off their website because too many people were calling it. But I saved it from a year ago 304-625-5590. they will only check if it has been 5 weeks otherwise you are wasting your time.

That I am not sure. I assume you were in International waters ?? that is a technical question that someone in a similar situation could answer. I wouldn't want to give you mis information

The logical answer is that if the visa was issued by the US then I would assume FBI clearance would satisfy that. If it was issued by another country, I would think not. But what I am learning is that nothing about these processes is logical, so find out that info for sure before you proceed.

It says if you were in states for 6 months or more you need fbi letter for application to be approved.
