For those who are worried and like me see that people very close to their date were charged many days ago:
I called them this morning and they said that they are opening 23rd and my CC was charged today.
Mine received there on 23rd of July.

Does anyone know how long approximately does it take to receive it to the US address from when they charge the card?

Most probably you will get your report by 19th

Good luck...

Hi everyone. Just called up FBI customer care. They are processing the applications received on July 23rd. My cc has been charged today 9th oct. The rep on phone told me to call back towards end of next week for status update.
Hope this helps!

P.S: Do they charge first and process fingerprints later or vice versa? Any ideas?

They charge your card first and process fingerprints later

You mean if they charge the card there is still no guarantee that the fingerprints are ok???
Yes, They first charge the card before scanning/processing fingerprints. If applicants fingerprint don't have the required quality which FBI expects, it will be rejected .

But hope for the best , call them next week.. I am also in the same timeline , expecting card charge..... :)

Need some help guys.
I submitted my FBI PCC to CIO last Aug 2015.
Will CIC still needs a State Police Cert. / clerance or FBI will be enough already?
Also, my wife used her married name in her FBI CJIS card when her fingerprints were obtained since passport was needed at that time, however, she stayed in the States as single then got married.
Will CIC need an FBI with her maiden name on it?

Thank you very much.

State Pcc's are not accepted by CIC and FBI Identity History Summary is the only document they need. Check out the CIC reuirement below

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/united-states.asp

Regarding wife's name, you could have added an explanation letter along with her old and new passports copies . But don't worry, better to sent one more application for her along with the explanation letter. At the same time you might get the report without the above step. Its up to you to take the chance.

I already submitted my wife's FBI to CIO last Aug 2015 with her married name on it.
We submitted another request to FBI with her maiden name just in case CIC asks for it last Aug 21. So I hope it CIC will no linger ask for a new one from us.

Also, I've noticed that the FBI report was just a plain paper but in FBI Paper with their seal already pre-printed in theur paper, is this the new format and will be acceptable by CIC even if there's no dry seal unlike the old FBI report?
Thanks

CIC needs FBI PCC with her current name (Name on the current passport) . You cannot have one name on application and old name on PCC.

FBI Paper is not ordinary one, try to take a copy of it or scan it you could see some water mark on the copy . It cannot be fabricated and there comes the authenticity of the document..So don't worry about that..........

I don't think you need to worry about your wife's report. She might have changed her name but her fingerprints are still the same :)

I submitted application with my married name and it was processed just fine. I never even sent passport copies.
