Admins, would you please update the spreadsheet for me?

I also met with a minor accident today, an hour ago and the CC charge is covering up my pain a lot. Fell from my bike while coming back from office and had several injuries on most of the right side of the body. Noting to worry about, going for first aid in few minutes. Once again thanks a lot everyone.

Re: Fingerprinting for FBI report for people that lived more than 6 months in USA

[size=10pt] Since we discussed so much about fingerprinting for USA FBI PCC, let me state that please refrain from getting this done from local police stations as by now we should know how responsible police stations in India would be for such an important document. This fingerprinting task is a tedious task and requires precision and good training for one to do it. As our forum member ack1990 shared yesterday, even a professional guy at a USA police station did not do the job well, so just refrain from getting it done from anyone but an expert.

A good way to find out fingerprinting expert in your area is either by direct reference from guys here (e.g. like Venkat shared about Chennai) or by simply searching in justdial.com for India. One needs to select their city first e.g. Mumbai or Delhi/NCR and then type the key word 'Finger printing expert' and as you begin typing this the word will start auto-populating itself. For bigger cities at least 50 options will come so call a few guys and ask for how many years they have been doing this, how much they charge, do they keep an original copy of the FD-258 finger printing card issued by FBI, what documents to take when you go to them (they normally ask for passport or an ID card and can even ask to brink 2 to 3 printouts of the FD-258 card from FBI's website if they don't keep the original ones at their office)......questions of this nature to gauge their expertise. Most of these will anyway be experts / very genuine agencies, otherwise wouldn't have been on justdial in the first place. You can negotiate and expect a bargain of about INR 3k to 4k from these private agencies. If you can find government crime bureau etc. it might cost relatively lesser with still an expert there, as Venkat says. Good luck!

PS - If possible, also check over the phone itself when you call upfront, whether they can provide a covering letter on their letterhead saying "Mr. / Ms. X, ID number y (or passport # z) was fingerprinted by me on this date" along with the fingerprinting report. I usually got one but not sure if every agency provides this or thinks it is necessary. It is more like a 'good to have' and might not be a 'must have'

PPS - Indication of an expert - A good agency will first make you practice for a while on plain paper before actually getting it done on the FD258 card. Because initially it takes quite a while getting used to the process and only after some practice a valid / useful / good finger print comes out.

Thanks you Oscar7 for your July quote. Hopefully karma wont stop me from giving you a +1

I had that same problem in Egypt too.

http://www.ielts.org/contact_us/online_enquiry.aspx

I filled out this form which is the IELTS complaint form itself not the British Council's, and they sorted the problem out in 2 days and had my center issue me another TRF. Just write in the letter that your center refused to issue you another TRF to present to CIC and to save time mention your candidate number, because they'll reply in a day asking you to send them your number.


Hope it works for you too!

NEW MEXICO clearance will suffice.. NO FBI issuance needed

you should be ok

However pl note if you are not fingerprinted - you should then opt for FBI - ....else no..

good luck

Thanks for your reply.. but found this link from CIC. Looks like she needs to get her PCC from FBI mandatorily and State PCC seems to be optional as per VO request....

Guys, WES has been informed of their error of evaluating some diploma guys incorrectly. Awaiting their response now!

I am thinking of bringing it to their notice that this error of theirs is causing tremendous loss to some innocent applicants and this will have a serious impact on their future pipeline (as it is being shared / discussed openly among the prospective candidates).

More importantly, they need to take this VERY seriously, and amend this error free of cost for the affected guys. But I'll first wait to get their positive response on one of the cases shared with them.

Right now they have acknowledged one such email sent to them and asked for time. Let's see what they revert in a few days.

PS - Please don't ask for specific details on this; suggest waiting for 10 days on their response to decide next course of action, if any

I would never recommend WES to anyone they screwed up my ECA and I complained to the highest management and they still did nothing and just whistled to the bank with the cash I had paid. I gave up fighting a losing battle as I had enough points for my app so I sent the ECA with a cover letter and copys of emails and transcripts of telephone calls to WES to support that they had screwed up and that I am aware I could only claim points for the qualifications that WES had actually done anything with and that I was including all documents so that it confirmed my personal history and so no gaps.
