FBI PCC

[dillon]

I don't understand, where it says return mailing address, do you put the same as applicant address on the form. Does the $18.00 fee cover the return mail cost?
Is there any thing elseI should know before filling this application, and they don't ask for any pictures.
I downloaded this application and the fingerprint card, printed on a printer with white paper, can I get the prints put this paper or is a special paper. Iam sponsoring my wife from India.
Thank you.

there are no pictures required for obtaining the fbi record. only the application, payment and fingerprints. The return mailing address is the address you want them to send the record to, so that would either be yours or your wife's home address. Do NOT have them send it to CIC, as they won't know why they are receiving it. Either FBI pays for postage or it's included in the fee. bottom line is, the postage does not need to be a concern. people have had the records sent to canada, so they will send it to an address outside of the US.

First of all thank you for answering my questions, I forgot to mention when she lived in US she had applied for a sylam but returned to India before any decision was made and has been live there since. She returned approximately in 2007 2008, would that a concern to cic?
Oh yah the fingerprints, is ok to use the fingerprint card that is printed off a computer.

i believe the application specifically states that police records are needed for every country the applicant has lived for more than 6 months at a time for the past 10 years, or since 18 years old. FBI records don't show immigration history as far as i know. it only concerns criminality issues.

yes, the card can be printed off the computer. my advice is to cut it down to size for the technician as they may experience issues using a standard size piece of paper.

So in my sponsorship application do I have to disclose that she had applied for a sylam in the US at one time.

i'm not sure what sylam is? do you mean asylum? Where would you be able to disclose this information as the sponsor? The sponsor forms are clearly about the SPONSOR. If anything, they would ask her about her own immigration history on the forms SHE fills out as the applicant. I don't believe the PR application specifically asks for her immigration history for another country, only for Canada. US and Canada are separate countries and have separate rules. Answer the questions that are asked, provide the information they ask for. I really wouldn't recommened offering information that isn't relavant to the application or isn't specifically asked about unless it can prove the validity of your relationship. there is a possiblity they do find out this information during their own security check during processing. Whether it's something to worry about is dependant on the visa officer and the strength of your application i would think. For the most part, i can't see why they would care as long as you can prove your relationship is real.

If she's lived in the US for more than 6 months within the time frame the ask for, she has to get an fbi record. not providing one can either delay processing or have your application get sent back. again, i don't think immigration information is listed on FBI records. so if she wasn't arrested and charged with a crime while in the us, it *should* be completely clear.

Ok, so if cic application does not ask about any asylums she doesn't have to disclose it, however if they come across it she should explain it honestly.

About criminal record she told me she gotten one DUI nothing else, would this be a big issue if it shows up. The DUI is about 7years old.

Once again thank you for your time.

What was her status in the US while she lived there? I think she will have to disclose if she applied for immigration to another country (like applying for asylum)

As for the DUI, did she apply for rehabilitation? If not, it will be a problem.

She might need to apply for criminal rehabilitation to cic since 10 years have not passed since the day she completed her sentence for the DUI ,I'm not sure thou , I think you should do some more research about if the DUI will affect the sponsorship application .

About her status I'll have to ask her about it, she had social security number and drivers license. I think she probably would have a refugee maybe.

Her DUI she mentioned that had do some classes as part of conditions and she completed them.

Her DUI is going to cause you some problems. She will need to fill out and obtain the rehabilitation forms. DUI is grounds for criminal inadmissibility to Canada.

Do not 'bank' on it showing up on an FBI PCC, but make sure to disclose it. If you do not, it would be seen as misrepresentation and cause you an entire mountain of headaches on top of the ones that will exist simply by having the DUI in the first place.

She should disclose all of her history, including that she had sought asylum in the US previously. This information will be easily found and should be disclosed, as again, it could be used against her as misrepresentation is she does not include it.

where is it suggested to include this on the forms? I don't recall the forms asking for immigration status for other countries, only for canada. The applicant here put in an application for asylm in the us, then withdrew it and left. So, where does that information go on the application? While it will may come up in their security check, and most likely be a reason to request an interview, how would it be considered misrepresentation if CIC doesn't specifically ask for immigration information from other countries in the first place?

I agree the DUI is going to be an issue, and more likely than not, it will show up on the FBI record. Perhaps when explaining this situation, the asylm part would be mentioned here if it's connected somehow?

FORM IMM5669E Question 6c explicitly asks if the applicant has ever applied for refugee protection in Canada or any other country.

oh, well thank you! then in that case, it needs to be disclosed. it doesn't necessarily mean this information will affect the application negatively decision wise. i think the bigger concern is the DUI.

 

[keesio]

And I think the DUI may need to be disclosed because of Question 6b on the same form where it asks if you have been convicted of a crime in Canada or any other country. I'm not sure of all the OP's details but sounds like his wife was actually convicted for DUI and in the US I believe that is considered a crime?
