Guys/gals, need some help!!

I received an email from my VO requesting for an FBI clearance (nothing else, just that one listed). And they want it in 45 days. I checked the FBI website and it takes about 8 weeks to process. What do I do???

Also, I would be visiting my wife in Canada in two days, I would be there until the end of the month. If I were to get the fingerprint/photographs here, I would be rushing things, I would need to run to Crame tomorrow to get the fingerprinting stuff done in the morning; my other option would be to have the fingerprinting/photograph done in Alberta (Wetaskiwin) and send it to FBI from there.

Please advise, I am in panic mode right now and need everyone's advice.

Here is the content of the letter and the procedure for requesting an FBI clearance:

How or where do I obtain one?
You should:
- get a cover letter and fingerprint card from the FBI. You can download these from the
FBI website in the Related Links section at the bottom of the page or write to the address
below and have them mailed to you.
- have fingerprints taken. You can have this done by:
- a local police department or
- a private fingerprinting business.
(When you have your fingerprints taken, you will need photo identification.)
- include a Certified cheque or money order for the fees, payable to the U.S. Treasury
- mail the letter, fingerprints and fee payment to:
FBI, Criminal Justice Information Services Division
Attention: SCU, Mod D-2
1000 Custer Hollow Road
Clarksburg, West Virginia 26306
U.S.A.
Processing times are normally between 16 and 18 weeks. The FBI will send you the results of
their check. That will be your police certificate. You should send the card and any attached
documents to the CIC office processing your file. All police certificates must be originals.
Photocopies will not be accepted by our office

Hi,

I just want to ask kung meron ditong may baby na Canadian citizen as per the new citizenship act? Kailangan daw ng exit clearance from Bureau of Immigration for minors with foreign passport? Ano requirements dun? Wala kasi sumasagot sa BID. IF ipresent ko yung Philippine passport nya, kasabay ng canadian passport, hindi na kaya ako kuhanan ng exit clearance?

THank you in advanced sa magrereply.

@ kismet:

according to our sis peacemaker:


The child who has the Canadian and Filipino passports do NOT need the exit clearance from the Bureau of Immigration. Upon leaving the Phils., the parent presents the child's Filipino passport. Upon entering a foreign country, the Canadian passport is needed. If there is only the Canadian passport, then I assume the need for exit clearance. So if you have both Canadian and Filipino passports, that would be great and always have them handy for immigration purposes.

Can goods are allowed by customs. But meat products are not be allowed. Technically, cheese can not go through. You can risk it by not declaring but there is a fine for it if you get caught, and worst you might not be admitted.

Good luck.

Yup puro pinoy when i called them using my magic jack mga pinoy talaga sumasagot I think it's Filipino owned. They are on time naman they send out boxes every friday morning.
