Hi Oscar, and Other Fellow Boarders:
Oscar - I can't find your last response to my question about PCC. Dont know if I lost it (page no), or it was deleted accidently.
I am ready to send my FBI PCC request. I just heard from a well wisher that having the PCC sent to a local US address (freind or relative) and then asking him to send it over through courier will save atleast 2 weeks of transit time. Is this true really?
If yes - then I will follow that route for getting PCC, instead of direct delivery via Goverment post. Please let me know
Yes you can use this option
Another question is, my FBI PCC request consist of, application form + FD-258 Finger Print card (3 copies for just in case) + Credit Card form. Technically, CIC website states to send cover letter. I am assuming by Cover letter they mean "Application form"
It could mean letter just written about you and where and when you got the finger printing done. I think this is optional, as its not mentioned in FBI site
Finally, the FBI credit card form, does not any field to specify the 3/4 digit creditcard security pin code. Again, I am assuming this should be fine, since all merchants have different payment gateway, and FBI guys can still charge a Credit card on number and expiry date alone. But still, please confirm if anyone else also had this thought while filling up the credit card payment form.
If there is no provision of CVV, dont mention it. Its fine. Most banks accept authorization letters with just card number and expiry date.
NDVO surprised us with their pace of sending MR. I am caught on the wrong foot. I thought I had enough time to get PCC from US, but with this pace, they might call for my medical and PCC anytime this month. So I am a bit pressed for time here. I plan to get the PCC request out today, so timely advice will be so greatly appreciated. !!
Yes, its best you have this ready, as most PCC's are valid for 1 year and itseems NDVO is giving only 45 days time to submit PCC's. Good Luck!!
Good luck to all, god bless all .. !!
