I did include a note requesting for expedited service.

FYI:

April 25: My application arrived at FBI
May 10: My credit card was charged.
May 11: FBI report was generated.
May 14: FBI mailed the report to me.
May 18: The report reached me.

Good luck to you!

Yay! Lucky you! I hope we're that lucky -- my husband is sending his off tomorrow and we really hope it doesn't take 10-13 weeks. :( Did you request to have it expedited?

This is the first step in my process! Starting it is exciting!

I got my prints done today and asked for 2 sets, just in case. Should I only mail one set in, or both? I don't want to get rejected and prolong the process.

Thanks

I would mail them both in, just to be safe? It sounds like a number of people have had issues with their prints not being 'readable.'

That's great to hear! Do you mind sharing your timeline? Was this recently? Did you send a note asking for it to be expedited?

So my husband's credit card was charged today by the FBI .. hopefully that means it won't be much longer. (And hopefully they're readable!) They were received by the FBI on May 21st.

If yoy want the prints sent back to canada do you need to supply envelope and stamps? Also, should you mail it certified so you know it was received? One more question if you ask for it to be expedited like i see some have, what would be a reasonable time frame? Thank you

No, he hasn't received it yet (as of June 12th). He's in CA, but I was expecting it to take another week or two after the card was charged before he actually received his police certificate.
