Hi upp942

You have mentioned about livescan of fingerprinting.
Could you please explain it ? Live scan means it is an electronic format and not the printed one. I do hope that you might have gone to the private finger print vendors and scanned the fingerprints.

How did you send the electronic format by mail to the FBI ?




Thanks
When I did the livescan, I specifically told them that I will use it to apply for an FBI clearance. The fingerprinting process was done using a machine. When the prints are good enough, the computer will accept it and print out a copy which you can mail to the FBI. This process eliminates the chances of a "smeared" fingerprint, which is definitely going to be rejected by the FBI if it can't be read, whenever ink is used.

I hope I was able to explain it clearly.

Thank you very much for this useful information. It is a news for me. I didn't know that scan centers would provide the finger print - pringouts. It is very much true that scanning rectifies the error on the spot so rejection of fingerprints by FBI is remote.

Did you get any ORI for scanning ? In NY this number is necessary for finger print scanning.
We have to call the Division of Criminal Justice and get this number.
Is the process same in CA also ??

What is the price for finger print scan ??

Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't know what an ORI is. I believe I didn't have to get one when I did my livescan. I think the livescan cost me around $80.00 here in California.

If anyone in this thread had their application LOST BY CIO, please post your details on the thread "LOST APPLICATIONS". We are hearing of a number of Post 26/6 apps that were received by CIO and now they have no idea where they are. This is serious and we wish to get a sense of the number involved. Anyone directly affected is encouraged to make their concerns known to the Minister. Thanks.

so how far have you gone with your document collection? I would be going to Alagbon today to get that of my wife and I. I still have not gotten my IELTS 3 and a half weeks after taken the test, if i do not get it this week i would call British council, cos i intend sending my full documents in 2 weeks time
