Go through the process of requesting the FBI cert immediately. Contact CIC and let them know that you have requested the FBI cert but it's going to take more than a month to process and request an extension to the submission deadline.

 

[NashMash]

I've searched the FBI website but I couldn't find any agent or authority who'd take my fingerprint in the form FD 258 here in Bangladesh. I don't even see any instructions stating that I can do it myself or not. I don't know whom to knock

About the time extension, should I send a CSE to CIC or my LVO?

 

[jc94]

Just to reassure you, while irritating you are not alone.

Requesting police certs after 5 months in USA and indeed other countries (I saw South Korea as one) seems to be a favourite trick of CIC. Especially late on.
If there is one piece of advice I would give people applying it would be to get police certs for anywhere they have resided. Especially in countries like the US where it takes 4 months to get the check done.

You won't get an answer within 30 days. However, based on what I've seen once you notify them that it hasn't arrived they'll extend it again (and again) until it does. Make sure you provide any proof that you submitted it including the date.

As of earlier this week, the FBI is currently processing applications from early to mid January ... as a rough guideline.

For getting fingerprints; try a local crime or forensics lab?

Don't feel stressed bro. Most of us who has come across FBI PCC has gone through various stages of pain. So just apply for your fingerprints with hope. "DO NOT" take fingerprints on your own, because most of it will result in rejections after 4 months. If there is no technician in Bangladesh fly to India or any nearby countries where you could find one to get your fingerprints done. You can google it & can call them to verify what kind of services they provide. I'd recommend a digital or electronic fingerprinting which is done with advanced fingerprint scanners rather than old, ink & roll method. Just start this process ASAP & provide enough proofs like your fingerprint card scan,your pay receipt with the technician if you get one, scanned copy of courier receipt & a snapshot of when it's been delivered to US FBI address with your tracking number. Use a fastest courier service available with tracking. You can also provide CIC a proof of 13-15 weeks processing time by providing them the link to the FBI website or a snapshot of the page showing the same along with a letter of explanation. Definitely CIC will provide you enough extension as they are well aware of such scenarios. All the best buddy.

Thanks a lot bro. I'll keep everything in my note. I've heard that the special branch of police department does finger printing. I'll contact them on and keep things moving ASAP.

Just to add, you can submit as many fingerprint cards as you want. Submit at least 3 to FBI. I would advise 5 and above, if you do not use a professional to take fingerprints. FBI charge will be the same regardless of whether you submit 1 or 100. You will be charged per report not number of fingerprints you submit.

There's a form for fingerprint FD-258, should the technician take the fingerprints on that form or they give the prints on a separate paper?

Yes, fingerprint should be on the card, but not sure they will have the card outside the US. So you can print the fingerprint form on a plain paper (also accepted) from the FBI website. I suggest you get at least 2 prints from a professional to avoid any rejections..
Good luck!

@NashMash, How did you eventually resolve this. My wife is in the same boat as you were. Our deadline for submission is in 21days and the FBI PCC is not out yet. We are thinking we should go ahead and hope that by the time they request for the FBI PCC (If they do), then we should have it then.

Hi CaptainAdey,

Just curious what happened to your case, as same thing would apply to my scenario too. I will not be able to get the FBI PCC before the deadline.

Hello, regardless you need to submit the FBI Police certificate and which is not going to be available in 30 days. Make the application asap. Before mailing it scan everything and save it also once you mail it scan the receipt of the poster service. You can upload those scanned documents which will show that you are under the process and CIC will automatically provide you buffer time. It's on their website.

Don't loose heart brother.. there is solution for everything
