I am in the same boat. Mine reached on July 11th. And my deadline is September 27.

I emailed the FBI at: Identity@fbi.gov. They havent even opened my package.

Should probably submit an LOE or would have to decline ITA and wait for invite again (so I can buy more time).
I submitted my application without fbi pcc. Got my medical passed and now they asked for fbi pcc and gave me 60days. I hope i get the fbi clearance soon.

When did your application reach the FBI? Mine reached on July 11. They are currently opening packages received on July 07th. Apparently there is a delay in processing due to a new software system being installed. Someone on here posted that it was a 3-4 week delay. Also when did you submit your application?

my friend called them just half hr back. they said they are updating their software. i dont know how much time it will take.
hope they finish this update thing soon. they told few ppl that it might take 3-4 wks.
 
Hi,
I submitted by FBI clearance on Sept 4, 2017 and i received my ITA on Sept 6, 2017. All my other documents are ready. I only have to go through medical and FBI clearance. So should i wait till December for FBI clearance or can I get my medical done and submit eAPR with the proof of FBI clearance docs submission?

Yeah same, this is the update that I got today morning:

Thank You for your inquiry. At this time, there is a delay in processing all of our customer requests due to the implementation of a new computer system. I am not aware as of yet, how much of a delay this may be. Thank You

Best Regards,
Laura

I would advise that you wait till the last wk on your given time and wait for the fbi pcc. Get your medical 10-15 days before submitting your e-apr. if you get the fbi pcc in time then its perfect. Otherwise submit your e-apr with loe and courier slips attached. You will get additional 60days.. so wait till the last wk. i knw its tough to wait.

Did you submit it with an LOE for the PCC? If so, what other documents/proof did you submit in addition to the LOE and what did you tell them on the LOE?

My deadline to apply is November 8. While I do hope and pray that I will get the PCC before then, you just never know. Especially with that potential 3-4 weeks delay that were posted earlier. In the event that I do not receive it by then, I'm planning on submit my application maybe a day or 2 before the deadline instead of declining the ITA. I fear that if I decline the ITA and go back to the pool, my score will be lower since I just had a birthday recently.

No need to decline. They give u enough time to upload fbi pcc later. I got 60days now. I uploaded my fd 258 form and courier slips. Thats enough. If u have more. Like pictures of fingerprint card. Add those too.. they will ask for your fbi pcc on about 15-16 nov and give u 60 days. So u will be fine.

I do not have a copy of the FD-258 form, all that I have is the receipt from USPS and the receipt from where I got my fingerprint.

The USPS receipt should do. The FD258 form means nothing. The USPS form and maybe contact the FBI through email for a status update and include that.

I just used a channeler this morning and it was literally less than 5 minutes from taking my prints to receiving the email saying that my report was ready. And that only cost $50, compared to $18 plus $5 for fingerprints at the local police station for the nearly 3-month long standard FBI process (and I got to pay both because my left hand's fingerprints are apparently awful :p).

To be clear, the channeler's site said to expect it to take 3-5 business days, but others on this site have used them and had it be just as quick.

Wow, that's amazingly fast service! Which channeler was this?

Are channelers only available for US residents? Or for everyone else also

Fieldprint. Oddly, they had no locations in my city but 3 in much smaller (some much MUCH smaller) cities 40-45 minutes away. I would much rather have had the usual routine work for me though, plus that's cheaper, so my recommendation is to do that and just use a channeler if something like my problem happens. It's just unnerving because I'll be uploading a soft copy and so few around here have done that. I'd rather use the method that 99.9% use.
