Thanks , and one more question:
I am a resident of US , traveled to India on a vacation on July 18th. I received ITA on Aug 08th.
I have received my Indian and FBI PCC on Sep 1st at my US address while I am in India.
Now I am planning to submit my application from India as I am planning to stay here until Dec.

Following are the guidelines from CIC:
If your country of residency is USA, then:
  • For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
If other countries where you have lived:
  • For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country.

Following are my concerns:
1) FBI PCC - Since I am a resident of US (I have my driving licence and bank statements there). First rule applies for my US PCC and I should be good as my PCC is issued in less than 6 months.

2)Indian PCC - I received my Indian PCC from Indian embassy in SFO. Here Second rule applies , and I think I am good because I got my PCC on Sep 1st which is after my last visit to my home country which is July 18th. The rule states "police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country" , but since I am still living in India on Vacation I think my PCC is valid.

Pls advice if there is any risk of my PCC rejection in this scenario?

Did u got answer for this I am also going to be in same situation as i am travelling to India in mid sep

Well given that you are a PR, you have no worries. You can go through a channeler and your new certificate would be ready in a few short days.

Delivered on June 26, card charged today. Well, for one of our two applications. Presumably the second should come through any time now too. I checked earlier this morning and neither had shown up.

Hi Friends,

I am currently residing in NewJersey, US (on H1b) and in the process of creating a Express entry profile. I do have the following questions regarding the FBI PCC process.
1. Is there any specific Police department that would take care of the Fingerprinting process. Or Can I walk into any Police station / Sheriff office and request for Fingerprinting.
2. Do the Police send the Fingerprints to the FBI or I need to mail it to FBI address.
3. Since I am on H1B (non immigrant), I might not be able to move through the channeler or 3rd party Agency . Please confirm if my understanding is correct.

1. Check the website or call the police department that serves your area. My city's website has a section about fingerprinting with the cost and how to arrange an appointment.
2. You'll send in the fingerprints with the FBI form and payment.
3. Only citizens and permanent residents can use channelers/3rd parties so you'll need to use the typical FBI route.
