You can call @ +1-304-625-5590, and to my knowledge in general CC will be charged 11-12 weeks time frame. You can call them check for status.

Thanks for the no.

Hi All,
Here goes my story with FBI PCC
I had a 6 month tiring journey to finally get my PCC yesterday
I applied my FBI PCC on 17th October, I got my CC charged on my PR on 29th, that is my first mistake
After rather tiring journey got my CC charged towards end of December and my original PCC sent in Mid of January to my friend (But as if luck is not on my side, my friend moved to another address, that is my second mistake
I applied for duplicate copy after 3 week wait as mandated by FBI and to my surprise it took them 3 more weeks to send out my duplicate copy and finally received by my friend a week ago.
He sent the courier through USPS to India, thats another mistake , which took its own time, 1 whole weeks to reach me yesterday and I sent it and it finally reached NDVO today morning.
These are my 2 cents to you all
1) Make sure to send your PCC with your PR application(Plan accordingly before.... most PCC's have 6 month expiry) this helps to cut down waiting times and last minute tensions.
2) If you live outside US, find a friend/relative who for sure is planning not to move in next 6 months and always address your mail to him. most apartments offices would not take mails addressed to people who are not registered to their apartment
3) Make sure your friend/relative sends mail through fedex/UPS with highest priority

2nd for now, they got 3rd earlier this week. Hope 2nd goes thru, am running out of patience here -(

Did they charge your creditcard when they rejected your 1st & 2nd set of prints?

 

[FSW_Applicant]

They charge first, then reject. I've been through it twice already and am waiting for my 3rd and 4th charge now

[FSW_Applicant]

Good luck! My second set got rejected too! Have sent in 2 more applications now. Good thing is that they have reduced their processing time by 2 weeks :

That is crazy :-X

 

[fsw2014sv]

can anyone give an idea how much time it takes for the report to reach India?

Getting ur fingerprints accepted is like a mountain in itself! Not sure when will we able to reach the top!

 

[FSW_Applicant]

I'm sending my State PCCs along with the rejections and requesting more time for submission. If I'm lucky, they will accept the 4 state PCCs I will be mailing in.

Has anyone called FBI lately? What is their processing date and what date they are charging the card?

 

[prashcanadavisa]

Worried to see above comments as they can reject FPs and processing takes 4 months.

(UK PCC was lightening fast, they have opened online application and premium service takes 2 days only. They also query over emails and get the things done. I got UK PCC within 5 days from applying via normal airmail too!)

But for US PCC, first, I delayed sending PCC request as few people misguided me saying FBI wont process any application without a reference from Canada Visa office about the document request. Later after checking on this forum, I managed to send it in just a month before receiving my MR & Doc request. VO has given end date in May.. Given stricter timelines, I m thinking in past that I could have sent multiple requests over last 90 days.

I have few doubts and (dumb) ques ..
1) How/When do we know that FPs are processed. Is there any notification email or we have to call Helpline to check?
2) On call, how do they recognize which application one is talking about - by name?
3) If rejected, then next time do they process it faster?
4) How much extension VO generally provides?

You have to Call FBI after 10th week of application if your finger prints were accepted or not. that's the only way.
2) On call, how do they recognize which application one is talking about - by name?
Your Last name, Date of Birth
3) If rejected, then next time do they process it faster?
Hope that it gets accepted the first time. There is no expediting in this case. If Rejected you will have to go through the entire process again with the same amount of time.
4) How much extension VO generally provides?
No Idea on this. Seniors may be able to help.

Its ridiculous how we grew up watching TV series and Movies where FBI would take finger prints from soda cans and Coffee Cups. Here we provide a plain white Sheet of paper and clear finger prints Yet they cant read them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our entire Teenage was a lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
