FBI PCC

[lucky07]

Is the validity of 1 year mentioned on the PCC?

M not sure on that, but in CIC portal, it is mentioned that PCC should not be older than 1 yr from the date of issue.

It does not say so. It just says "Police certificates are typically valid for one year from the date they are issued.". But i guess it is safe to get it again if it's older than a few years.

Hi there,

My PCC was mailed out from FBI office in 30 January. I haven't received it yet. FBI customer service told that delivery time 4 weeks.
Does anybody knows how long it takes to deliver it to Russia or Asia?

Ur FBI PCC is valid for one year.. so cheers my friend and go a head with ur submission of documents.. congratulations !!!

Is it still valid for one year if you are still residing in USA. Mine is for 30th August 2016. Can i get it confirmed with CIC. Any email id or phone number?

For the country of residence, it is valid only for 6 months. You need a new one for sure. Your efforts are better spent on getting a new one than trying to get a clarification if it would be valid.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here so am apologizing in advance if I ask something that's been dealt with before. After a few searches and cursory reading I couldn't find anything similar to my queries so am posting now.

My queries are:
1) Since I was charged for the 2 copies of the report ($36) would it be wrong to assume that the prints/application was O.K. or should I still expect a 'reject' mail from them? I mean my assumption is based on the understanding that FBI would(should?) not charge for sending 02 copies writing 'application rejected - fingerprints not legible'. I may be wrong though. Any one in or has been the same boat?
...

P.S. You guys are doing a great job.

Best,

An update - Received it finally!

My timeline:
Delivered - 28 NOV 2016
CC Charged - 09 JAN 2017
PROCESSED - 14 FEB 2017
DELIVERED (USA) - 22 FEB 2017
DELIVERED (INDIA) - 27 FEB 2017 [Shipped by family member]

So overall it took 87 days [12 weeks 3 days] to recv it (@US).

Had to call ((304) 625-5590) and email (Identity@ic.fbi.gov) FBI twice.
The lady on the phone was also surprised that it'd been a long time since the CC was charged. She said she'd raise a request to the processing team about this, took down my Indian phone number and said I'd recv a call back. I din't recv no callbacks but the job was done in a few days.

P.S. They ask for your Given and Last Names and DOB.
P.P.S. They are quick with email replies too [generally within 24 hours].

Best,

Congrats! But it did take pretty long time between your cc charge and processing. Usually it takes 10 days. I am going to call them next week to check my status.

Hi All,
Just a question. I received an ITA yesterday and yesterday only I sent my application to FBI for PCC. Since I am in India, i learnt from other posts, that it takes a while to get the PCC back to Asia. So i was wondering if I have to send another FBI PCC application from India and provide Canadian Address as i have couple of friends in Canada or US address ?

Kindly advise..

Did you ever call them to check status of your application? Are they able to tell you if the scans were alright?

Hi Hitesh,
Thanks a lot for confirmation.

Hi All,

I'll be sending for FBI PCC from India. Need to know if I can do it myself or need to go via some fingerprint expert/agency. Please advise.

Rgds,

Hi Hitesh,
Thanks a lot for confirmation.

Did you do the fingerprint on your own or done by an expert/agency.

Hi,
I did through expert. As processing time takes time, I didn't want to take a risk of rejection.

I never called them as I was sure that my finger prints will be accepted. I sent them five sets.
