US Police Clearance: FBI Processing Times

[QBCND]

How do you know when a certificate is dispatched?

I have called fbi they can give information if they have opened your application, you must give your name, date of birth, and address.

Hi Everyone,

Have applied for FBI clearance for my parents. The fingerprints reached their office on May 17. Based on the timelines, seems we will get the report by 1st week of August.

For what it's worth I just got done about 15 minutes ago at my FBI channeler appointment. About five minutes ago I got an email saying I had my results. To me, that is totally worth the $50 that they charge. TAKE THAT 16-18 week wait!

Can Indian citizen living in usa on OPT can also get from channeler ? As I am applying for my husband as inland applicant in Canada and he is my dependant.

No! Channeler is only acceptable for US Citizens.

Please see below timeline for my case:

May 2: Credit Card was charged.
May 10: Received in the mail.

Hope that helps you. FBI CJIS is so SLOW and you need to be reallllly patient.

So the FBI has officially updated processing times from 13-15 to currently 12-14 weeks on the website.
Every week counts!

Any updates on this? We're at the 6 week mark approx.

Well, I just checked the website and it still says 12-14 weeks. From observation and personal experience it would be very unlikely to receive it before that time-frame.

If you have received your FBI police clearance certificates recently, could you please share your timelines?

My fingerprints were received on April 15th. I am wondering when I will get the police certificate. Also, for those of you who had it mailed to a different country, how long does the mailing process take? (They will send mine to Turkey)

Thanks a lot!
