Hello,
However, I have no clue whether or not they have processed my request. Is there a way that I can follow up on my FBI record request? I searched for this in their website but I have found no related info. If I still hear nothing from them after 8 weeks, what should I do?
Thank you very much for your advice.
I am afraid there are no ways to inquire about the status of your application. I was in the same boat couple of months ago. It took 5 weeks for me to receive the report from the US.
Thanks
Hi Friends,
USA and France....no comparisons....

Anyways good news is you can contact to get the status of your application....they are extremely polite (telephonic or by email) and respond to your query within 24 hrs. Also, they entertain your request if you have a genuine reason,like immigration deadline....just politely make your request (Personal experience).
Here is the information to contact by email/Fax #:
The form can also be
faxed to (304) 625-9792, or scanned and sent via
e-mail to liaison @ leo.gov.Source:http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/background-checks/faqs
