Yep. The FBI seal in the upper left corner of mine is in color.
I used a channeler so I got it instantly. Which could also be why the seal is in color.Slightly off topic but since you guys have received yours, can I know how long the process took from the date you mailed your documents?
It is not luck. FBI has a very clear first in first out policy. It takes more time (than average) only if there is some criminal record found or if the finger print quality is not good. Till January, they used to process applications faster. Now with more ITAs, there are more applications submitted to FBI and hence the process is taking longer. If you call their customer service number with your package delivery date, they will tell you as to applications from which date are being processed or if your application has already been processed. Good luck!Thank you guys, much appreciated. I have noticed the time it takes varies significantly. I read someone say a month, another say 4 months on this forum. So I guess its all luck.Thank you for helping me out.
