2. Just any black pen (does not matter). I used ball pen for all 5 applications. No issue. Of course received reports for all.
3. Not needed. Never sent.

aeropostale,
1. Its better to take prints using a professional so that we can reduce rejection as we might not take it correctly even though we do see many of us done self and accepted but if you are willing to spend some money then its better to get help from them rather than doing it ourselves.
3. Better to use other than credit card.

General note for everyone:
What I still dont understand is that we (many of us) still using credit card even though we saw many posts on issues of credit card which arises at the later stage of processing the application. Already we have few issues (3 months waiting period and tough to get fingerprints accepted in their system) and we are trying to add one known issue of using credit card.

#The name on your response letter will match the name indicated on your fingerprint card.(from FBI site)
so due to people not having good writing or some officers not having good sight, it is always advisable to include your passport data page which includes your date of birth too.....it wont cost you anything extra.
i like sending application neatly and professionally because this always affects your application......just my opinion.

I emailed FBI and was told my request was completed and was mailed out on Sep 3. But my friend hasn't got it yet(a US address near Denver). I am so worried about it!!! Is it likely to get lost even within the country? I really hate to think that I might have to start the whole process again.

Guys! Any suggestions? :'(

Re: FBI PCC - Avoid my predicament

Friends,

My history with getting the FBI record.

We live in India.

1) Applied in 2013. Record never reached home. Followed up. They kindly resent. We still not get it.

2) Re-applied in 2014. Did not receive. Followed up. They said they have sent it over 2-3 months ago (over and above the 12-14 weeks for processing)

Whether the US Postal Service did not forward to India, or the documents got lost in our Indian Post or got permanently stuck in India customs, no one knows.

3) Applied for a third time. This time, we provided a friend's address in the US. This time, it was finally received at my friend's address. He kindly forwarded it by courier, and we finally got it.

Time wasted : 2 years. Total money spent on just the US record = Around Rs 40,000.

Conclusion: Please provide a US care/of address while applying for the FBI record request, and get it yourself by courier. Don't rely on the two countries' regular postal services. Sadly US does not provide a "courier" option.

Good luck!
