FBI US PCC which applications are currently being processed ?

[CADparity]

*sigh*
I'm not gonna get mine in time then, I'm going to have to attach an LoE. I've already declined an ITA once before because of PCC issues.

Hang in there. Request as many extensions as you can and supply documentation with the requests. If your extension is about to expire, my advice is to ask via email for updates on which date is currently being processed by the FBI and then attach the reply message with your request for a further extension to show that the FBI hasn't gotten to processing your request yet.

As of right now, I intend to apply in March. The documentation I have to support my case is the receipt showing that I sent my request to the FBI in on November 7, a print out of a screencap of their website saying that it takes over 16 weeks to process applications, and a letter I have from me declining a previous ITA from CIC (which I declined for PCC related reasons). I will also attach a Letter of Explanation to make my case. The case I intend to make is as follows:

a) I sent in my request for an FBI PCC on November 7, right upon receiving my OINP nomination;
b) I received my first ITA on November 17; I held on to it until January 11, which was pushing it to the very end (the deadline was January 13), and upon it being clear that I would not have the PCC, I declined the ITA
c) I received my new ITA on January 13
d) I am holding on to this one until March, the very end of the 60 day grace period- if at the time I still do not have an FBI PCC, I will have not only sent my request to the FBI way before time, but also have declined an ITA once already, and coming dangerously close to letting the second one expire, as well as coming very close to letting my PNP expire (which it does in April). In this case, I have gone beyond all reasonable measures and timeframes waiting for the FBI to get their *censored word* together, and am now left with no chance but to apply and request for an extension alongside

Do you think it is a strong case to make? Do I have all supporting documents as well?

Aragorn165, that should suffice. That's what I did and I believe most have done. We've all gotten extensions. My request reached FBI around the same time as yours did. I sent another packet just last week, because I am afraid the prior request's fingerprints might get rejected. Wishing you all the best with yours.

Card charged today - application was received by the FBI on October 15.

CADparity, thanks for the update (here as well as on the other thread). Please let us know once you receive and upload your report. Best wishes to you.

Hi

Was your card charged today or a few days before and it appeared in your statement today ?
For me the Credit card purchase is usually shown 2-3 days after the purchase.
That is why I am asking.

My packet reached on 14th Oct..so hoping to see the purchase in the statements in 2 days may be.

I'm not really sure - the transaction shows 'Pending' in the Date field in my online banking. It showed up a couple of minutes after 9 AM EST. It could have been charged on Friday.

Sounds good. I would add a scan of the application to the FBI as well as scans of the fingerprint cards - just in case. If you need to request a second extension while your application is under review, I'd advise you to write to the FBI and ask them which date is currently being processed so that you have written proof that they haven't started processing yours yet. It's not mandatory but it can strengthen your case with CIC if things drag out.
And I wouldn't wait until the very last day of the 60-day period - CIC's website is quite buggy and you never know when it's going to be down.

Alright, I just got off the helpline, and as of today, they are processing applications received from October 15 through to the 20th. My own application, which was submitted on November 13 at the PO Box, has about three to four weeks left before it can be processed. In all cases, it is unlikely to be here before I submit my application, but at the very least I now have a timeframe for myself.

Ahh, I unfortunately do not have any copies or scans of my fingerprint card- I am afraid I did not even think to keep a copy of that
And yes, I do not intend to wait for the very last day as much as the last week or something

Hi All,

Just called my bank and they said charge on credit card has been requested by FBI on Friday 5th Feb.
It is still pending for Merchant to accept the payment.
My Packet reached on 14th Oct.

Hopefully I get the letter in my hand in the first week of March.

Good luck all of you !

Hi All,

So happy today to have received my US PCC.
My credit card was charged on 9th Feb and I got the letter on 17th Feb here in Singapore.

I have one question though.
The record only talks about no prior criminal data at FBI. And also say that
this report does not preclude any criminal history at local or state level.

Is everyone getting the same content letter ?

Thanks in advance !

Congrats. I haven't got mine yet, but I saw a sample of the FBI report online and it says exactly what you are saying below.
I see you are applying from Singapore as well. May I ask how many copies of fingerprint cards you included in the application? I included only 1 copy because I felt that the COC professional should be able to do a good job. But I am a little worried (in fact, I did send another set of application later just in case, but I want the first set to go through).
My package arrived Nov 3rd.

I specially travelled to India to get the fingerprints done. Because I did not know COC would do that.
I sent 2 copies of fingerprints as instructed by the guy who did the fingerprinting for me. However, he did say
they used to send one before and never heard his clients about incorrect fingerprints.
Don't worry so much about it. Even I was worried whether my package reached there or not ? Whether they will
find my fingerprint legible or not ? Timeframe and all those things.
Just relax and work on other things in meantime !

HTH

Any update on which date is getting processed now? Anyone's CC got charged who applied after 15th Oct?
