Here is the thing,
According to FBI website, now they are taking up to 12 weeks to process applications instead of the 6-8 weeks that they were taking before due to a high increase in the number of applications.
We submitted our application on June 23rd, and we sent a LOE with a copy of the application, waybill, proof of payment, etc. Apparently this would have worked out. However, CIC is asking us for the certificate itself to be submitted before September 10th, if not, they will assess our application with everything we have already submitted and it MIGHT be refused. We are supposed to get our certificates by September 20th roughly.
I would like to know if, even though we sent a LOE regarding this, CIC could reject our application because of FBI certificate missing. It would be a shame after spending a lot of time and money to do this. We are hoping to get an extension form CIC in order to get our certificates and send them accordingly.
Your feedback would very much appreciated,
Thanks and good luck to you all
