FBI PCC

[Usher]

I don't understand what kind of software they have installed which has increased the processing time instead of reducing . This is really pathetic and kinda mental torture. Any how the only email ID I know is for change of address request "liasison@leo.gov" for FBI Certificate.

I got email from CPC Ottawa today granting me extension for 30 days. My history is that i sent the documents to FBI couple of days before i received email from CPC-O asking to submit documents. With current FBI timelines, i wouldn't be able to meet 30 days extension time given by CPC-Ottawa. I have requested for additional 15 days from CPC-Ottawa. This is getting into my nerves now. Does anyone know FBI CJIS email address?

They told me technical team is working on rectifying the issue and do not have ETA yet.
Some applications do take more time than others, the officer informed me maximum they have seen is 13 weeks from the time they receive the application. When you request for extension, take into consideration 14 weeks at least ( 1 week for postal transition ). I hope they do send me the application at the earliest. I have also emailed them extension notice from Canada immigration.

What they meant is that they have opened Oct 9th application and uploaded in computer. Next step is when they scan for criminal history etc which would take weeks. Please rermeber, people who have applied in August last week/September 1st week are still waiting for their results.

Just got of the phone with FBI customer care.
He mentioned they are entering the data for 9th Oct applications.
when I asked him how much time does it take to send the report after entering into the system.
He said to be safe expect 12 weeks from when the application was received.
My application was received on 11th Oct, I doubt they will send me the report in next 4 weeks

Hello-
I have got the PER today with the blessings of Almighty. I am living in North Carolina. I was just wondering as I have come in USA in last August and afterwards I applied my application from here, so should I also need to do the FBI clearance. I have already submitted my Bangladeshi PCC with the application.

If yes, then I think I should file right away. I can see there is a long queue.
Need your advice!

Thanks in advance...

Good luck to you all!

You have to be in US for 6 months or more, but you never know. What Visa Office have you selected for processing?

Thanks for your reply..
I have applied for CPC Ottawa.
When exactly should they ask for FBI PCC (If they may in my case) after the PER.

Appreciate your response.

After PER, on average it is taking anywhere from 4 to 5 weeks. You should hear something by mid Jan. They usually ask for Medicals along with PCC. Also keep an eye on ECAS (Online Case Status).

Thank you so much for your time.
Yeah...I think total time for me staying here in USA will be way less than 6 months (approximately February 15th, 2015 will be 6 months for me) mid January. Do the Visa office really take this 6 months time in consideration or they just randomly ask for PCC without counting the time line case by case.
Should you guys advice me to apply for the FBI PCC or just hang in.

Need your advice.

Depends if you want to take a chance.
Form fee: $18
Finger print: ~$40
Vs.
Risk of application file fee: $ (depends on # of applicants), BUT IT'S A LOT!!!

Viewing the trend of time that the Justice Division of FBI is taken to process application, might as well do it now than regret later.

I just wanted to point out that I called up the FBI today, and they said my report was done. This was a Sept 9th application, so they took exactly 3 months. They have not mailed my report, but would do so in the next few days. I will update this thread when I receive it
