Validity of FBI Identity Check for Express Entry

[bharat1236]

Hi Guys,

I got my FBI history check this year in 25th Feb (2018) and I did this without even getting an invitation just to avoid extra step for my PR application documentation later. I received my PR invitation on June 25 (2018). I heard somewhere FBI history check is valid for like 90 days? is it true, if yes then I would have to apply for FBI identity history check again? Please help me as the current doc I have is about 4 months old and I am planning to submit all my documents by July end. Any suggestion is appreciated,

Thanks

I think its valid for 6 months if you are currently in the USA.

Is there any reference for this info? I just dont wanna risk it, or get rejected for this silly thing.

Your pcc should be dated within 6 months of the date you submit your PR application.

I have Received PCC US ( Identity History Summary) on black and white paper. It looks like a photocopy. Is it acceptable? The online one got expired before I downloaded it.

Yeah, the FBI report is black and white. There should be no problem.
