FBI PCC

[Giftsmas]

Hi Seniors,

I sent the finger prints for me and my wife to FBI last month alongwith the application, and as per FedEx tracking #, it reached them on 27-Mar-2015. I have not received any kind of acknowledgement from FBI yet.

When can I expect the acknowledgement from FBI and when can I contact them if my finger prints were accepted or not. I sent the fees in the form of DD check.

Please advise.

Thanks.

There is no acknowledgement of receipt from FBI. You can check if your fingerprints are ready after 10 business days from your DD being cashed.

You wont get any acknowledgement, your logistic vendor's acknowledgement is the only proof you should retain. Wait for 10 weeks and then start contacting FBI on +1-304-625-5590 or at "liaison @ leo . gov" to check whether they have started processing yours or not. 10 weeks is the minimum wait period with no activity for everyone worldwide.

Should you get to know that your packet didnt reach FBI or if FBI has lost it then you can use your Fedex acknowledgement as proof of delivery.

Here's another timeline for reference:

I got the prints done Sat, Jan 10, 2015 and mailed them two days later (without tracking, so not sure exactly when they arrived).
My credit card was charged Wed, April 8, 2015.
And I received the report in Canada Mon, Apr 27, 2015

Good luck to all of you.

Hello everyone,

I am facing a unique issue and need your help. My Medicals and all the PCC's were sent to NDVO back in Nov 2014. Since Oct 2014 I have been waiting for my FBI PCC. The issue is with my fingerprints which after 8 sets of fingerprints are not readable by the FBI authorities. So as i understand, the ridges are not clear and hence the system doesn't accept them. This is my 3rd attempt at FBI( Last few sets are currently in process which will take close to 2 more months as of now). Meanwhile, I have gone ahead and taken fingerprints for State PCC, which too were not readable but since NJ State churns out report based on DOB as last resort I am waiting to receive it this week. My plan is to send the State PCC meanwhile.

I want to ask forum members if they have any suggestions, heard any such cases if state PCC has been accepted, not accepted, any other way out. I cannot forever wait for fbi pcc which may or may not happen.

Hello all,

I received my FBI PCC yesterday by the Grace of God Almighty. Here is my timeline,

10/12/2014: Fingerprints Received by FBI
20/3/2015: PCC dispatched by FBI
8/4/2014: PCC received by me

I have good news for all those who want to get the FBI PCC done, it is not as difficult as it seems. I will explain based on a question/answer format.

Common questions:

a. Can you print your FD-258 form yourself?

Yes, I printed on a normal A4 sized card paper.

b. Can you take your fingerprints yourself?

Yes, I took my fingerprints myself and they were accepted by the FBI. I took my fingerprints based on an LEE inkless pad which I purchased from Amazon and got delivered to Saudi Arabia. The inkless pad is the best option because fingerprints are very clear and crisp with it.

c. What is the procedure for taking the fingerprints?

Follow the procedure on the FBI page very carefully and watching the video below take the fingerprints on the card(I took my own fingerprints i.e. only one person was involved not two like in the video below).

d. How many fingerprint cards should I fill?

Fill at least 20 cards(try to become an expert in the process). Choose the best four and send them to the FBI.

e. What return address should I fill?

I created an account with www.shopandship.com. They provided me a shipping address in the US. I collected it from Aramex office.

NOTE* I went to the local police station for the fingerprints as well. Although, their ink was much better the police was not very good in taking the fingerprints and I was not satisfied so I took the fingerprints myself at home. The Inkless pad ink is better than even the police station's. All the best guys!

Maybe the above mentioned process is of any help. I posted this earlier on this forum as well.

Did anyone called FBI today for status?

 

[angelinyc]

Thanks for the info nskatcv. There isnt a livescan location in the state where I live, but I will find out about any close by. I remember inquiring with them and over the phone they told me that it is not available for non citizens, so left it thereafter.Are you facing issues with the quality of your prints as well?

FBI doesn't accept livescan results transmitted online, but one can always get livescan done and get them printed on FD-258 paper, which can then be sent to FBI. I did that and they are with FBI right now as my third attempt.

It is true that the channelers won't do the livescan for non-citizens, but I went to the state police department headquarters. They only did the livescan if FBI has rejected your inkprints earlier. I was already rejected twice, not due to any issue with my fingers (I am sure), but due to illegible prints (poor printing as such).
