US Police Clearance: FBI Processing Times

[GlDEON]

Anyone who did eDO asked for a hard copy as well? I am waiting for it to arrive in my mail for 2 weeks now. I downloaded my results but I want to see the hard copy as well...

Yep, I also requested the hard copy and waiting for the delivery.

I just received today! They sent me one email saying my fingerprints had been received and would be processed in the order it came.
Then 10 minutes later, I received another email with the FBI check.

But still waiting for the Aussie check to come on the mail before I submit anything

Nice!!! Fingers crossed we'll have the same luck!

PR + OWP inland application sent in 2/21/2018. Looking to get fingerprints done. I am a US citizen now living in Canada. Can someone clarify what is needed? Can I use a channeler? I'm getting mixed answers on this.

As far as I know, no. There is no channelers in Canada. You will have to do it online or by mail. This is what we were told a little while back.

Thank you for your reply! Much appreciated.

So in my case, would I need to get a background check from Canada (now that I am living here) and from the US? Or just the background check from the US? And then send in my fingerprint card via mail or online if done electronically?

Have you lived in canada for more than 6 months?

Have you lived in canada for more than 6 months?

no, 6 months in june.

 

[Michyy]

no, 6 months in june.

If I'm not mistaken, you only need a police check from where you've lived for 6 months or longer.

Still no response from FBI so much for 48 hrs/ 3-5 business days...

Are channelers still the fastest way to go? Do they work even if there are minor, old, dismissed charges or do I need to get mine directly from FBI?
