Did you get through the whole process is about 6 months?!?!?!
*Technically* yes. My application was returned a bunch of times, so we had been trying since Jan 2017. We finally got AOR in August 2017... DM and PPR five months later, landed six months later :) Given the awful time we had just trying to get AOR, I am super thankful for the speedy processing!

What caused them to keep returning it?

Bad luck on my part... lol. The tiniest stuff. One time we accidentally included the "summary" version of the Notice of Assessment instead of the full version, another time we forgot to put my parents' zip code on the Additional Family Info form, etc.

I highly suggest everyone in the group that they avail the new electronic processing for Identity History Summary Report. This new service was launched last week.
02/08 - Filled out my application online and mailed my fingerprints and confirmation email through FedEx priority overnight shippinh
02/12 - Received an email with a link to download my electronic Identity History Summary Report.

The CIC only need a soft copy. You can also select 'mail' as your preference to get a hard copy mailed to you instead. I submitted an application to the FBI the old way on Nov 25 2017, still waiting for a result on that one!

Do you know if this is available only for US Citizens and Permanent Residents? Or is this available for anyone present in the US?

This is available for anyone and you do not need to be present in the US. This is directly through the FBI and does not have the same restrictions as a channeler.

I completed my request back in end of November.
But I've decided to try the new option eDO last week. It took a few days and I received my report by email. They also can send a hard copy to your address.

Many thanks

Just a heads up - For those who have sent in a paper copy after November 1st 2017, you can resubmit using eDO as long as you have sent your application with tracking.
