Hello everyone,

Quick question.

I am submitting my FBI clearance certificate today and that is the final document I have to send. Now, we are expecting our baby number 2 in July at what point in time I should tell Visa officer about it?

Will they make decision on my case before my child is born or they will defer the decision after my child is born?

Anybody in same situation?

My RPRF draft is cashed Delhi Visa Office. My PCC from US is still due. This frustrates me how PCC from US takes too much of time.

Hi,

Below are my details :

NOC : 2241
Appl. recd date : 13-Nov-14
PER recd date : 04-Feb-15
AOR recd date : 26-Feb-15
VO : Warsaw, Poland
Awaiting MR

1. I am the principal applicant, and my wife has been a joint applicant as I accrued 67 points with addition of my wife's IELTS exam score.
2. I have worked for more than 6 months in India, Ghana and US. So my understanding is that I will need PCC from India, Ghana and the US. Currently I am working in India. I also understand from the fellow members in this forum that for the US, FBI clearance is required and it takes normally 4 months from the date of application received. I am expecting MR during 2nd or 3rd week of May-2015. Do I need to start the FBI clearance process now or should I wait. I have applied through a lawyer and lawyer told me not to do so. However, looking at the amount of time taken by FBI, I felt to check in the forum whether I should start the process right away or should I wait for the CIC intimation to get the PCC done. How long is the FBI PCC valid ?
3. Do I need PCC for both me and my wife or only mine ?
4. Does CIC send any special letter that needs to be attached alongwith the FBI PCC request ? In that case, I will have to wait for the CIC intimation for FBI PCC.
5. We are a family of 4 - me, my wife, two kids (less than 18 years). Do I need to get the FBI PCC for all four of us or just me and my wife ?

Can someone please advise as I am really confused ?

Thanks.

If you have mentioned in your application that you have lived in the US for at least 6 months in a row in the last 10 years, you will be required to submit a FBI PCC. My advice is to start the process sooner rather than later because, as reported by some members, their fingerprints got rejected (twice for some) and they had to start the process all over again.
As far as the validity is concerned, I don't see an expiry date anywhere on my FBI PCC so I would think it is good for at least a year.

3. Do I need PCC for both me and my wife or only mine ?

If your wife was with you in the US for at least 6 consecutive months, she will also have to furnish a FBI PCC.

4. Does CIC send any special letter that needs to be attached alongwith the FBI PCC request ? In that case, I will have to wait for the CIC intimation for FBI PCC.

You don't have to attach any special letter with the FBI PCC request. All they need is your fingerprints on the FD-258 card (you can download it from their website and print on standard white A4 paper), an application form which is also available on their website, a credit card payment form and a criminal history summary checklist form. You will need 1 set for both yourself and your wife, although you can use one credit card payment form for both.

5. We are a family of 4 - me, my wife, two kids (less than 18 years). Do I need to get the FBI PCC for all four of us or just me and my wife ?

Just yourself and your wife.

Can someone please advise as I am really confused ?

Thanks.

Thanks so much. This is really very helpful. Can I send the application doc along with finger prints to FBI through Fedex or is it supposed to be via regular mail only ?

 

[hoodrobin]

Is there a possibility to physically go to FBI office and pick up the report?

 

[harismatic]

Any courier service which has a working tracking system. That is the only way of knowing they have received it because they won't tell you till at least 8 weeks have elapsed.
