I got my FBI report on the third try....what a relief!
1st FBI submission - 15th jan, paid 18 dollars thru credit card, got ink finger printing at local police station
2nd FBI submission - 13th march, did not pay anything, got ink finger printing at local police station again
3rd FBI submission - 16th may, paid 18 dollars thru MO, got ink finger printing at local police station (same police officer all three times, this time he gave a letter of support to say he followed all good practises as specified by the FBI website, and that they should contact the police station for any further queries)...
I submitted one fingerprint card every time, and received a FBI clear on aug 18th
waiting for medical request now so I can submit it....
cheers
