Hi Rorita!

I took this form here: http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/pdf/fpcardb.pdf to the nearest Police Station (in my case, RCMP) and got my fingerprints done twice, the first one for the FBI and the second one for the state police check.

Then, I went to the bank and got two money orders, one for FBI ($18) and the other for the MSHP - CRID (state - I paid $20, but it changes from state to state).

For the FBI, I mailed the fingerprints, the money order, the Cover Letter ( http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/cover_letter.pdf ) plus a form that came with the guide inside the sponsorship package (don't remember the name though).

For the state I mailed the money order, their form ("Request for Criminal Record Check"), the fingerprints and the same form from CIC I sent to FBI (took a copy of it).

Edit:

"(...) plus a form that came with the guide inside the sponsorship package (don't remember the name though)." The name is: Request for Police Certificates/Clearances and Authorization for Release of Information.

Sorry, this is the only thing I could find. Hopefully someone who lives or lived in Michigan can help you. The police I had to deal with was from Missouri, not Michigan.

Lia , thank you for your reply, but I already have all these info, my problem is: where to go to do the fingerprints in lebanon, I was in Michigan for 9 month on a tourist visa, now i am in Lebanon. My husband has already sent me the FBI card by fedex.

 

[Lia]

Sorry, hope you can find as soon as possible the information you need.

Did you check with the nearest police station already? Here in Canada I know I can take the fingerprints in any RCMP - and that's what I did -, and in Brazil who does that is the Federal Police. But I don't know anything about Lebanon.

in fact , yesterday i got the email from damascus office to do the FBI clearance and Michigan police clearance, and I started the work today.
And since I am in lebanon, even that it heart when saying this, i don't count on local authority to do something like this, cause , they don't have much experience doing so, I prefere to find a foreing office who do something like this for the canadian embassy, or if this service is available in the canadian embassy in lebanon,or in the USA embassy in lebanon.

look go to el mazara3a just infront of the russian embassy, there is this big station for the darak, u go there do ur fingerprints finish all the stamping (tosdi2at ow midri shu).
now to send it to the USA, i dont know how the US system does it,if u want i can ask my friend who is a diplomat in the embassy bi 3awkar.
but my guess is after el 2amn el 3am u go to the wizart el kharjyie bil ashrafieh tsad2iha(tell them its for the US so they stamp it in english) and then you should submit it in the embassy ta yisad2oha ow then send it to your husband ow he finishes the US part.

i did it a year ago but it was for venezuela and our embassy here stamped my papers so it would be accepted in caracas.

good luck!

eh ow if u dont know in beirut or need any help with the US embassy or anything,dont hesitate to contact me ana 7ader,hek hek nater mitlik

 

[rorita_76]

Boujasim, thanks a million for the info and for offering your service. I will do like you said, but if no problem, can you please ask your friend in the USA embassy concerning al Tousdik on the fingerprints after the tousdik of wizarat al kharijiat.
And between, can we trust al amin al 3am in lebanon doing something like this, I mean taking fingerprints, in a right way so they won't refuse it while reaching the FBI or the police state, because this was my fear and this is way i was looking and searching for a specific fingerprinting firm that the canadian embassy use for this.
thanks in advance and good luck having a early and easy interview.

Boujasim Thannnnnk youu.
Sorry in advance from everyone who doesn't speak arabic, I have to use arabic expression in order to refer to the police station in lebanon,to make sure from boujasim I am doing the right steps.
Boujasim, I called Thakanat al helou who said that I have to take the fingerprints card, my passport, passport pics and go there to the Mabahith 3ilmia in the third floor, do the fingerprints, and they will make me do another fingerprints for their own record, then to maktab tahakouk min hawiat...( I really laughed on these names...))..in the fourth floor, do the tousdik there, and after that go to wizarat kharjiat, do the tousdik there as well .
I asked him about the tousdik from the USA embassy in lebanon, he didn't know anything about, so please I will count on you to ask your friend in the embassy about that.
I am really thankful for this forum and everyone who is helping me, and between us, this forum had more info than our lawyer in canada, can you believe that I am giving him info that he doesn't know from reading in this forum. I am thinking I have to ask a charge from him for these info..
I will be able to work in immigration later on in canda..

Hey again Lia,
Please I would like to know if possible the link for:
"Request for Police Certificates/Clearances and Authorization for Release of Information" so I can download it from the internet, as well as from where do I get the Request for Criminal Record Check, is it from The Michigan police department or as well from their site.
thank you in advance
