Hello,

I sent my request for the FBI clearance from Switzerland today...it says on the FBI website that it takes aprox. 13-16 weeks to process.

The thing is, i want to apply for September 2016 and i know i will have to submit the full application including the clearance..Will it be too late to apply from when i receive the clearance?

Please someone shed some light on this for me !!

Thank you

someone on the forum called FBI help line and they told him FBI is processing applications which were received on or before 4th jan this was last week. So if ur application reached after 4th jan then its still waiting in queue.

Oh ok thanks for the answer. I talked to my immigration consultant and he said i can submit the application for the visa even though i didnt get the clearance and send it later on.
