FBI PCC

[FSW_Applicant2014]

Hello,

does anybody know how can I take fingerprints through a channeler or a third party and tranmit them to FBI.

I took them at home and they were rejected. FBI said that my fingeprints are not clear. I went to the police station to do fingerprints, they told they do not do this for FBI :'For your information, I lived in USA from 1997 to 2002 and since 2002, I am living in Morocco.

:-\ I am lost! Tell me about the best possible way to have FBI fingerprints please. I am running out of time!

You should google to find out an agency which specializes in filling out the required form and finger printing. I live in Delhi and googled it and found an agency which was certified to do it. Once you get the contact number/ website, check for reviews. You can also ask any immigration consulting firm in your country to suggest you which fingerprinting consulting firm do they refer their clients to. Hope it helps.

Why do you think you need to provide an FBI PCC since you haven't been in the US for 6 month or more in the past 10 years?!

Because it depends on visa officer. I've been in us for only 4 months but i was still insisted to provide the pcc. If i had know this before, i would have applied for one rather than being stuck as i am right now.

Nevertheless, I don't think he's gonna get asked for an FBI PCC.

Hello!
Can I just print the app form on any paper and fill it up?
I live in the Philippines and there's no fingerprinting consulting firm here.
What kind of paper do I need to use for the fingerprint form FD-258?
Can I take them myself? or do I need to have a policeman take it for him to sign the signature of official taking fingerprints?

thanks

Yes you can print the FD-258 on an A-4 paper
and yes you can take your fingerprints by yourself
However, I strongly recommend you to use the services of a professional fingerprinting agency
Good luck to you

Dear Experts,

I need a PCC from USA for my PR application, pertaining to which I have few queries & it will be very great to receive your help.

Actually I was in USA for 6 months & 4 days. As, my stay was little more than 6 months can I request CIC to waive the requirement of this PCC?

Secondly, I have stayed in India at three different places for more than 6 months. In this case, do I need 3 different PCCs or only 1 PCC is required? If only single PCC is enough, from where should I obtain it?

Experts, pls pls pls help me out here. Your one help can make my & my dear one's life.

Thanks & Regards.

******** Got it!!!! ******************

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I received my FBI PCC Certificate yesterday i.e. Tues Dec. 16. Thank you all for your support during the past few months.

Call Center Reps have no clue about Report Mailing Date:

My report was processed on Tues Dec 9. What is really funny is that I called them up on Fri Dec 12, and they told me that my report was not yet mailed, and they told me that it would be mailed over the weekend. Next, I called them up on Mon Dec 15 when I was told that they had not yet mailed my report, but it would be mailed out no later than tomorrow. (I have heard that the FBI has an internal rule that they need to mail reports in 7 days.) So, I never expected to get the report yesterday, and I only checked my mailbox just before I was going to sleep. From the post mark, it seems to have been mailed on Thurs Dec 11 i.e. the people I spoke to on Fri Dec 12 and on Mon Dec 15, were both wrong when they told me my report was not yet mailed. Moral of the story: The call center guys can accurately tell you when a report was processed, but they have no clue if it has been mailed or not.

-------------------------------------------------
Received by FBI: Sept 9, 2014
Search Completed: Nov 26, 2014
Report/Letter Date: Dec 9, 2014
Envelope Post Mark Date: Dec 11, 2014
Receipt Date: Dec 16, 2014
-------------------------------------------------

Note, that I paid with DD, so I have no clue when my application was charged/entered into their system. I however recall calling them up in the first few days of Oct, and my application was already entered into their system, and they gave me the reference number. For those unfamiliar with this, the Search Completed date is a bit of a misnomer i.e. it seems to be the date they start the search by scanning your fingerprints into their system. On the other hand, the Report Date is the actual date when their processing is complete.

So what does the report look like:

It is a simple sheet of paper in an envelope. In the past when some people referred to Report and Letter, I thought that they were two different things i.e. a Report and an accompanying letter. It is just a single piece of paper which has some watermarks/tech to prevent copying etc. It says something like:

==========================================
{Report Date} {4-Digit Num}

{Name}
{Address}

The Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has completed the following submission:

(This is in table form, that I cannot replicate here)
Subject Name -> {Name}
Search Completed -> {Search Completed Date}
Result -> A search of the fingerprint provided by this individual has revealed no prior arrest data at the FBI

Social Security Number: XXX-XX-{Last 4 Digits of SSN}

The result of the above response is only effective for the date the submission was originally completed. For more updated information, please submit new fingerprints of the subject.

In order to protect Personally Identifiable Information, as of August 17, 2009, FBI policy has changed to no longer return the fingerprint cards. This form will serve as FBI's official response.

Any questions may be addressed to the Customer Service Group at (304) 625-5590. You may also visit the Web site at www.fbi.gov for further instructions.

This Criminal History Record Information (CHRI) is provided pursuant to 28 CFR 16.30-16.34 solely for you to conduct a personal review and/or obtain a change, correction, or updating of your record. This CHRI is not provided for the purpose of licensing or employment or any other purpose enumerated in 28 CFR 20.33.

CJIS Signature
DOJ/FBI Seal

==========================================

Notes:

• First, the 7-digit FBI reference number that I used when calling them up is not mentioned in the report. A random 4-Digit number is there at the top, and I have not seen it before.
• Next, the report mentions only the last 4 digits of the SSN. The beginning digits are XXX Xed out.

If you guys have any other questions on the report feel free to ask.

I'm grateful to all of you for your help. I hope you all get your reports soon.

I'm pretty sure they would not accept if you ask for a waiver. But you can always try. But try only after applying for a PCC first because it is taking several months to get one these days.

For Indian PCC, just one is fine, as they check it against the national database. You can get it done at any passport office in India. Go to their website for more info.

Hope this helps.

Hi kimdvhoping,

You can take it yourself. Ensure that you take clear legible prints. Also take multiple copies. No need to go to police man or take his signature.
