Hi Everyone,
I'm new here so am apologizing in advance if I ask something that's been dealt with before. After a few searches and cursory reading I couldn't find anything similar to my queries so am posting now.
So the thing is - I sent my application and fingerprints (from India) around late Nov '16 and my CC was charged $36 on 10-JAN-17 (In the request form I'd mentioned that I need 02 reports). Also, I've mentioned it on the form for the reports to be delivered to a local (US) address.
My queries are:
1) Since I was charged for the 2 copies of the report ($36) would it be wrong to assume that the prints/application was O.K. or should I still expect a 'reject' mail from them? I mean my assumption is based on the understanding that FBI would(should?) not charge for sending 02 copies writing 'application rejected - fingerprints not legible'. I may be wrong though. Any one in or has been the same boat?
It can be rejection for both. Because they will be checking your BOTH copies, hence they will defi charge you for both. And also, you can expect a rejection for both if prints are of poor quality.
2) The mail has not been delivered to the US address, yet. It'll be a month in a-couple-days - should I wait for a few more days or is it time to ring them? [They have a four-business-weeks est. timeline if I rem correctly but that's passed today]
You can call them and ask.
3) If I do call them how will I refer to my application? I mean - by Name? By D.O.B.? By CC number? I want to know how does the conversation play out?
Tell them which date it was delivered to them and then they can tell you status of those applications worked upon that day. I havent called anytime so cant answer this one concretely.
4) Is their 12-14 week timeline from the day the open the package or charge the CC (10 Jan '17) or the day they 'receive' the package (late Nov '16 my case)?
the day they 'receive' the package, I think.
P.S. You guys are doing a great job.
Best,
