FBI fingerprint result how long does it take to get? (AINP)

[punk316]

Hi,
I received my Nomination last month but haven't really had time to proceed further. Now, when I looked at it, I understand that we HAVE to send the FBI and Police Certificates along WITH the application packet to CIC. Is that correct? It says that my nomination expires on May 25th and I'm afraid that I won't have all the documents required by that end date.

Could someone please suggest what all I NEED to send before the nomination expires please? THANKS.

You are really a punk !

The validity is 6 months for the nomination, if you had received it last month then it should have been valid until July.

It appears the nomination date was December 25th, 2009 for you.

So, better start now, it takes around 2 1/2 to 3 months for FBI which means you still have time early enough for May 25th, if everything goes well. Good Luck !

Thanks for your response.

I do feel like a stupid now since I should have at least looked into these requirements.

Since you are experienced, could you please tell me steps I need to follow or remember from here on now? I would really appreciate it. THanks.

Thanks a lot. I am sending FBI hopefully today and cross my fingers that I get them back before the nomination expires.

Looks like you are not doing even basic research on the application process. You need not submit PCC/FBI Clearance certificate along with the Federal application. Since you have already submitted your FBI application, you can go ahead and submit Federal application without it as well. You can send the PCCs when CIC asks for those. This is my suggestion. Don't waste your AINP nomination.

Submitted FBI request the beginning of 2010 January, haven't heard anything back from FBI.

Anyone got feedback from FBI?

Thanks

Hi steps,

Thanks for your replies. I got a document request email from AINP yesterday, and since then, I have been thinking about requesting the FBI finger print check.

Can you tell me what kind of information you gave for the Coverletter during the submission of your fingerprint card?

Also, for the Indian PCC, should I wait for my nomination before I apply at the Indian embassy.

Thanks,
Pr

You go to FBI website and look for fingerprint check, it will give you a sample of cover letter and what kind of info you need to fill out on the cover letter.

You may do your FBI check and Indian PCC after you get your nomination. In my case I gave an expired FBI letter. The Buffalo office still accepted my application.

Hi,
My AINP nomination expires June. I applied for PCCs about 2.5 months ago. I got all except the FBI card, and its been 9 weeks so far waiting on it.

Can I just go ahead and send my Federal application to Buffalo now? I can follow-up with Buffalo and send my FBI card as soon as I receive it. Does that work? OR I should send all in one shot?

My concern is that if the FBI card takes longer, my other PCCs can start expiring meanwhile.

Thanks.

In my case, it took about 30 days. But that was in July 2009.
