If you had 411 points, would you go ahead and get your FBI clearance in the US?

We are sitting in the pool with 411 points. I'm thinking about going ahead and ordering the background check from the FBI. Is that foolish, or a good idea? Also, should we do the expedited version? Does anyone have experience with how fast this works?

Pretty sure there is no "expedited" version of the FBI PCC (unless you're referring to a channeler and those are only for US Citizens or PRs). If the turnaround time is still months, it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and request it. Just know that if you don't get an ITA relatively soon, you may have to re-request it.

We are US citizens and we're thinking of using a channeler. Would that be worth it?

In that case, wait until you get an ITA. I'm a US Citizen who used a channeler and I had the report in my email before I even left the place that took my fingerprints & submitted the request.

We decided to do ours this week as we hope we'll be in the next draw now. Are these PDF results from channelers okay? We are looking at doing ours at Fieldprint, so there's no hard copy -- just the PDF. Is that what you did? Did it work?

You can get it done normally for 18USD as by end of June you may get ITA. Usually within 2 months you will have the report if you are in the USA. Why to go for a channellor?

We think we may be in the next draw and we want to get all of our stuff in ASAP when we do. Our son is Autistic, so we will have to overcome that. The sooner we get all our documentation in, the sooner we'll be able to work on the medical thing.

Then it makes sense. Just checked the composition of the pool. You seem all set for ITA in next. All the best!
