It took 6 weeks for me to get PCC from FBI. I had a real problem getting my fingerprints taken in Germany (the German police in Dusseldorf told me that it's illegal for them to take fingerprints from you unless you have committed an offence [not sure if my German just wasn't good enough to explain that I was of course granting my consent!!]) so I ended up having to fly to Scotland Yard to get them taken (as I was asked by the visa office to provide the PCC and to ensure I could provide it within the deadline I couldn't risk taking my own fingerprints in case they were rejected).emiiuki said:I've provided PCC with my application and it took only 4-5 days to be issued, so it is not a big deal if you don't prepare it in advance.
I have a different problem in 1999-2000 I'd stayed in the USA for one year, so I need a PCC from them. I didn't send it with the application (because I wasn't reading instructions carefully), fortunately, it can be provided to VO later. Does anyone from this VO have experience with FBI - how long does the whole procedure last and where should I start from.
I'm 2014 applicant and still waiting to be charged (hopefully will be during this month).
Good luck!
