I sympathize with your situation. Have you tried the US consulate in your country?
Getting fingerprints for FBI can be problematic if you live in some countries, where local law enforcement / police may not be familiar with these requests, or may not have the expertise to do it right.
In my own case, I live in Qatar where the US consulate does not do fingerprinting, and there are also no private fingerprinting services. I just got it done at Qatar CID (police), but I'm a bit concerned about the quality. Got two prints done, and I really hope the FBI doesn't reject them! The problem is the FBI can take 8-10 weeks, and when they're done, the results get sent by US Postal Service first class mail - which is very slow, can take 4-6 weeks to get to Qatar. So it could be 4 months before I even know if my fingerprints were acceptable to FBI

Yes, Qatar police did sign and stamp it. I don't know the answer to your second question - FBI police certificates can generally only be requested by you. I'm not sure how particular they are about sending results to a third party. Try calling their customer service number, and if you do, please post back what they tell you.

I will do that for sure , but i dont think there is a problem sending it to any address ?
please let me know where did they stamp exactly ? is it in the same box that says (signature of person who took the fingerprints) as this box is really small for a stamp ?

hi prash , do you have idea how to ask them by telephone , i couldnt find direct telephone line to ask about identity history ?
i will ask them about mailing to usa friends address , if this is possible i think you can also change your adress

1. Yes, the Indian consulate stamps one of your passport pages saying PCC issued
2. Should be a one-pager on the Indian consulate's letterhead
3. Not sure, that probably varies depending on which consulate/embassy you go to, but it should be a few days at most

Thanks alot "Prash42"...I am confused about the fees for PCC..As Per the consulate website, it says-prash42 said:
For Indian passport holders, a non refundable fee of $25 (twenty five) if passport issued by Consulate General of India,USA.
- otherwise if passport is obtained elsewhere, $45 (forty five).
However in the "Miscellaneous Services Form" , the fees mentioned is $20 or $40 :-\
Any thoughts?
