No, he hasn't received it yet (as of June 12th). He's in CA, but I was expecting it to take another week or two after the card was charged before he actually received his police certificate.
My card was charged on May 24 and still have not received the certificate. I do not know what are the factors that affect the processing time! I hope you get it soon

How long it took the whole process for you? What did say when you called them?
Thank you,

I sent in my Request May 23rd, and I received it back June 9th. :).
Wow, that was fast! Did you make a note to rush it or provide an expedited envelope?

I think we're on the same timeline for our applications. I sent my prints May 18th, they reached the FBI May 23rd, and my credit card was just charged on June 15th. I'll be keeping an eye out for the mail now :)

We sent prints in by Fedex for an updated FBI on June 7. The first time we requested them the turnaround time was 4 weeks. Here's hoping it goes that quickly this time too :)

I called the office to see where my Husbands was. They didn't seem to mind the call at all. They let me know it was on the way. It took 7 weeks for mine.

Hey guys!

I also got told to give CIC a police check from the FBI. Funny thing is that I'm not even American nor have I ever lived there! (last time I went I was 11, a school trip to Disneyland LOL!)

I'm applying through Mexico City and, the reason why I need it is because I'm originally from a border state/city (Tijuana).

I sent 3 sets of prints along with the information sheet to my dad in Tijuana, he bought the money order in San Diego and sent everything with Fedex, he also included an overnight prepaid envelope so they can send it to my uncle's office in San Diego.

How long is it taking at the moment? The website says 5 to 6 weeks but I read people are getting it after 3 weeks and others after 10 weeks :eek: I'm hoping that the fact that I have nothing to do with the USA will speed up my process :p

Another question: How clear were your fingerprints? I went to the Police headquarters in Mexico City and the prints look pretty damn good, except for my two thumbs in the flat prints (the ones at the bottom). My thumbs are kind of chubby so it touches the border of the square, but they look fine in the rolled impressions though, will there be an issue? I did include 3 sets just in case! How clear were yours in your opinion?

I did include a note requesting for expedited service.

Here is the processing timelines:

April 29:The application was sent from Hong Kong by express mail.
May 2: My application arrived at FBI.
May 17: My credit card was charged.
June 14: FBI report was generated.
June 15: FBI mailed the report to me on 1st class mail.
June 25: The report reached me in Hong Kong.

So, it actually took about 8 weeks to receive the FBI report.

Good luck to you ALL! :p
