Can someone please tell me what date application fbi opening now for fbi clearance ? My fingerprints was received by the fbi office on Jan 15th

Got my FBI PCC.

My fingerprint cards were delivered to the Clarksburg WV address first week of December 2017. Based on the current processing times, I was expecting mine to arrive by mid or end of March 2018. But I just thought of trying the eDO process, and I'm glad I tried! Got my PCC in less than 48 hrs!

Here's detailed info about how the process was for me:

27 Feb, ~11:30 am

I paid the eDO fees here https://www.edo.cjis.gov and forwarded the payment confirmation email as per instructions here [at this point the status was 'Insufficient Documentation']​

28 Feb, ~8:30 am

I got a response from FBI that they have forwarded my info to the processing center [status was 'Insufficient Documentation']​

28 Feb, ~2:00 pm

Got email: "Your fingerprint card has been received for your Identity History Summary Request and will be processed in the date order in which it was received." [status changed to IN PROGRESS]​

28 Feb, ~5:00 pm

Electronic version available. Downloaded it. [status changed to RESPONSE WAITING]​

Expecting mailed copy to arrive in a few days.

If anyone needs a format for forwarding the email, here's the content of email I forwarded:



I'm not a resident or a citizen on the US. Mailed documents from US. Residing in the US.

You check the status, by clicking the link that you received in the email when you started the eDO process. It helps to bookmark the link in the browser, to check it often.

The off by 1 date of birth bug seems to be fixed, and I had no issues in data entry (as noted in earlier discussions in this thread).

Also note:
If you are fingerprinting on the card yourself, it helps to send multiple cards. I got mine done at a professional fingerprinting center at NYC, and first set of prints weren't perfect, so the associate told me to get an another one, and send both cards, so that if one fails, FBI will check with the other one. (She also got to charge me $10 extra for that). If you think first set of fingerprints may not be perfect, just send an another one in the same packet that you are mailing to the FBI.

Hope all this info helps anyone looking to go through the eDO process, either with a new application or to convert applications sent after November 1, 2017.

Many thanks to all those who provided info in this thread. Helped me a lot!

Looks like it! You should receive an email in a few hours with your downloadable copy of your IHSR.

I am not sure how IRCC will be able to tell if a channeller or 3rd party is used to be able to obtain an FBI report. My wife recently obtained one through a third party service, she received it instantly and compared it to that of a friend's that was received through the FBI, it was exactly the same. We received my wife FBI through an email pdf and printed it on an A4 paper, there was no difference.

Hi ,please share name of the third party you got the pcc from. i am in hyderabad and ned to get pcc from FBI for our stay in US.

I checked the edo.cjis link which they had provided in mail and now status shown is

Status: RESPONSE WAITING

And there is one attachment to download which says

Search Completed Result
A SEARCH OF THE FINGERPRINTS PROVIDED BY
THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS REVEALED NO PRIOR
ARREST DATA AT THE FBI. THIS DOES NOT
PRECLUDE FURTHER CRIMINAL HISTORY AT THE
STATE OR LOCAL LEVEL.

Is this the PCC which we need to submit and do we get notified when will FBI send it via mail as I have selected that option ?

CIC asked for FBI clearance. What is the ORI number that shows required? Can I just take print out of FD-258 form and get the fingerprints done? Or does it have to be specific cards?

https://www.edo.cjis.gov/#/ says processing time 5 business days but FBI site mentions 11 to 15 weeks. What am I missing here?

I received my FBI PCC on 16 Feb 2018 and I got my ITA on 25 May 2018.

I am going to submit my application by 19 June 2018.

Do I need a new FBI PCC or is this one valid?

Hi, did anyone recently applied for US Police clearance? I have applied for Canadian Citizenship and during my test and interview they asked for US Police clearance. I have applied it online on June 2 and will be mailing the finger print card on June 3. Any guesses how long it will take if i have applied online at https://www.edo.cjis.gov/#/ website? Any feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks
