Hi All
I am in kind of strange situation and hoping to get an idea of my timelines for FBI to complete my PCC would be . Posting it here to see if anyone is/was in the same boat and find out their experience.
My PCC application initially reached FBI on 2nd October 2014. But when FBI tried to charge my CC, it was declined(unfortunately, my credit card company issued a new CC in between because of some fraudulent attacks on their systems). As expected, I got a letter back from FBI asking to submit a new payment form on 17-Nov-2014. And, I submitted a new form with new credit card information on 21-Nov-2014. My Credit card was charged on 08-Dec-2014.
Application Received by FBI : 02-OCT-2014
Letter from FBI to submit new payment form: 17-Nov-2014
Submitted new payment form : 21-Nov-2014
CC Charged : 08-Dec-2014
Now I am confused if I my target timeline of 12-14 weeks will start from 21-Nov or 2-Oct...I tried calling FBI, but is not getting a straight answer. I already got the PCC request from CPC-O and last date for submission is 20-FEB-2015.. ??? ??? ???
Lesson Learnt/Advise to fellow future applicants: never use a credit card for these type of transactions when you have an option of submitting DD/Money order.. we never know when CC company changes it.. :-(
Hi Everyone
I am happy to share the news with you all that I received my FBI PCC today.Here are the key milestone dates of my FBI PCC application.
Application Received by FBI : 02-OCT-2014
Letter from FBI to submit new payment form: 17-Nov-2014 (saying that my CC declined when they tried)
Submitted new payment form : 21-Nov-2014
CC Charged : 08-Dec-2014
Search Completed : 13-Dec-2014
Date of the certificate printed : 29-Dec-2014
Received in USPS mail: 6-JAN-2015 ( destination within USA)
So, it exactly took 13 weeks 5 days to receive the report in hand ( I was worried that my CC decline would impact the timelines, but it looks like it didn't)... Hope this information will help others that are waiting for this.. And hope everyone will receive their reports asap.All the best!!!!.. Thanks
