You can obtain FBI clearance from specific police stations i.e the police stations which issues the PCC.
If u r in jeddah city u have to visit main police headoffice at television road.

Thanks for the response masood8,

From what I had read, I only need to complete finger print card FD-258. The FD-258 form shall be downloaded in the FBI site, printed and completed, I'm not sure if there are original FD 258 Finger Print Card where we can buy.

After this has been completed by the police station include this in the mail along with the application form and payment form. then send this package to :

FBI CJIS Division – Summary Request
1000 Custer Hollow Road
Clarksburg, West Virginia 26306

Please confirm if this is the correct procedure? I'm just wondering if the local police station will help in this? Do you know someone who has the experience obtaining FBI Clearance and can confirm the procedure?

Thanks a lot for the help

Dear Saudi Applicants. when i submitted my application I have written the city of Birth as Dammam, although my actual city of birth is Khubar. Those living in KSA know that both cities are adjacent and people usually refer to them as one (Dammam/Khubar). None of the documents submitted states this. all my documents has place of birth written as "Saudi Arabia" only.

I am thinking of updating this after I get PER and my file transfer to the VO. Do you think this is going to cause an issue?

thats not a problem. They will match your place of birth as per passport copy and update themselves.
I am telling this from my experience.

Now dont worry. Relax and chill.
Go to bokhari and have some khabsa from myside

Dear good friends,

I have faced a situation. I landed with family (6 members in total) last month in Toronto for good three weeks. Came back to Saudi on 4.9.14. Got 6 letters at my friends address that my PRs cannot be processed because of the pictures. All the pictures are not as per the specifications. As long as I know my pictures were 100% ok except for the fact that they did not carry a date and stamp at the back. They asked me send new set of pictures via mail.

Can some one advise me how to make sure that the picture I take now will be upto the required standard. Can some one recommend me a professional photographer in Dammam.

Regards

Dear Forumites,

Please we need advice/suggestions and referrals at this point.

We( family of 5) landed at Calgary on the 17th of sept like any other immigrant, our intent was to do short one as reside in Saudi Arabia so we need to come back and tidy stuffs then move finally. At the immigration point we handed our Int’l passport and the 2 COPR to the immigration officer. The 2 COPR had 1 photo passport on each of them, you remember 1 COPR is for the client and the other is for the Canada immigration. The 2 photo passports on each of them was taken by the Immigration officer, that is what they use to produce PR CARD.

Everything went well and we stayed for like 20 days and returned back to Saudi on the 6th of October with the usual arrangement that our PR cards will be mailed to us by our good friend that we put up with;

Now the Challenge:

Just last week our friend called that all our PR cards have been issued except that of my spouse ( principal applicant). They sent a rejection letter which states that my spouse’s photo passport did not meet the requirements. Believe me we took these passports same day and same time. That is the only place we have been taking passports for years. They also attached a document that states their recommendation and notes to the photographer!

These are the 3 last points on their document.

• Be on Photographic paper that has a backing which accepts and retains the date. Photos without this backing are not acceptable.
• Be on prints that are well - fixed and washed to avoid discoloration.
• Bear the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed) directly on the back of one print ( stick – on labels are not acceptable).


We have combed all the places we can but no photo shop seems to meet the requirement of having date printed out at the back of the passport photos.

Do we know anyone that has same issue and has overcome it. Do we know any Photoshop ( for those in SAUDI ) that can do that ( we are at the eastern province, khobar axis).

Or maybe do you think I don’t really understand what they require? Is it just a stamp they need at the back? That is after the photo has been printed.

Please, please and please any information is deeply appreciated. We are really tensed at the moment and I know we all know why?

Please help

You can inbox me too please.
