FBI clearance received -confusion

[adihanda]

I just received my FBI clearance after 8 weeks but a statement written in it is confusing me a lot.

""the result of this response is only effective for the date the submission was originally returned. ""

It is returned as of today and i still have to submit the clearance to the local visa office

What this means that it is already expired when i recieved it. Do i need to send a new fingerprints now.

Please let me know what is the validity of the FBI clearance.

thanks in advance.

1.  Valid for 3 months.
2.  What the statement means if was dated 01/Nov/10 that as of that date you had no record recorded by the FBI.

Thanks a lot for the info PMM

Is there any official link which states that FBI is valid only for three months.

From the application instructions

:Note: If you are including your police certificates with your application to the CIO, please ensure that your certificates were not issued more than three months earlier. Police certificates are generally valid for 12 months from the date they are issued. However, if a final decision is not made on your application before the expiry of your police certificate, the visa office may request that you provide a new one."
