Anyone else get the new form to fill out for the cover sheet? Before it was just a letter now it's a nice sized form to fill out. Do we have to include return postage now?

I don't know about the new form, but I included a Self addressed stamped envelope with my request and it was mailed back in a big manila envelope with my SASE inside. The FBI rap sheet wasn't even in the envelope! So return postage probably isn't important.

I mailed my first request (fingerprints done at the local police station) with USPS standard Sep. 29th and they received it Oct. 4th. I did a bank check so I could not track when they started to process it. They letter says returned on Nov. 11th the stamp on the envelope was on Nov. 19th and I received it today. Result: "No arrest record" Total time from sending to receiving exactly 8 weeks. In case they could not read my prints I wanted to make sure that I do not waste too much time so I sent a second set of fingerprints (this time with FedEx) processed electronically and printed on paper on Nov 2nd, the FBI received it Nov3rd. this time I chose the credit card as payment form and they took the money on Friday Nov. 19th. Now I wonder when I will get the answer this time. I also wrote on the application form and on the envelope that I understand there is no expedite service but that I would need it for immigration papers and that there is a time limit and that I would appreciate an answer by Nov. 30st.
Hope this helps

We had a second set of prints done:
Received: Oct 27/10 Returned: Dec 1/10 Date of letter: Dec 13/10 Received in mail: Dec 20/10
That's about 6.5 weeks processing and one week in the mail.

No, you do not need to send prepaid postage. We have sent in 4 prints and never any prepaid postage. The results just get mailed back in the regular mail. Some people send a prepaid fedex envelope so the return is faster and can be tracked.

I believe that digital prints are accepted as long as they are printed onto the prescribed FBI card. I am sure you can find posts about it back in this thread.
