@catherine1967 : well, we are not overseas, when we got our MR last march2012, I was required to submit an FBI clearance (but my wife which is the PA wasnt required to submit at that time, I think CEM overlooked it, we stayed and had a vacation in the US for almost 6mos thats why we were required to submit the FBI). We had no problems in our MR and in ECAS our MRs were received May2012. When I submitted my FBI to CEM last May2012 they requested additional document FBI clearance of my wife (PA). So last June 27,2012 we finally submitted that requirement. Hopefully PPR is next and we should be expecting it this month of July 2012 if God permits.
Best wishes and Good luck to all of us! ;D ;D
