Hello guys, so I've read on this forum that getting FBI PCC through Indian channeler is illegal for Non-USC or GC. I lived in US for 2 years on F-1 & need my PCC in order to apply. Now, should I apply via the channeler or do it on my own? Is it really illegal to apply through channeler in my case? Because a directive is not a legal statute, it's just a recommendation. Im not sure if not following a recommendation is breaking the law. Also, if I do apply on my own & submit receipts as the people suggest, would my application be kept on hold or would it move forward with an option of submitting this PCC when I enter Canada? 16 weeks is 4 months & thus too long, not to mention that I had bad experiences with USPS on my OPT card.
