Dear canadiandream2018Dear All,
I need help in applying for USA PCC from AbuDhabi.Can anyone please help me with the procedure to get fingerprints in Abudhabi. I found the below information on the US Abudhabi embassy website. Is this the correct procedure.
Appreciate the help.
- Fingerprints can be taken by the Ministry of Interior, located at Abu Dhabi st1(opposite to Mediclinic Hospital – previously Alnoor hotspital on Airport road) – Abu Dhabi – United Arab Emirates
- Fingerprints should be placed on a standard fingerprint form (FD-258) commonly used for applicant or law enforcement purposes. The FBI will accept FD-258 fingerprint cards on standard white paper stock
- Once completed you will need to visit one of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation centers to have them verify and seal the fingerprints from the Ministry of Interior.
- You will then make an appointment for notary services at the U.S. Embassy for final authentication. The fee for notary is 50USD. Send your fingerprints to the FBI and ask them to run a criminal background check. Once mailed, FBI processing usually requires 8 to 10 weeks to complete.
I had applied for the US PCC for my wife but in Dubai and not Abu Dhabi. I am not sure if this would be of much help but below is what we had done to get FBI PCC for my wife.
i) You will need to download and print the FD-258 form from the FBI website.
ii) My wife created a profile on the FBI website. You can visit this website and the all the information is provided. https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks
iii) For the fingerprints we visited the Police Headquarters opp. to Al Mulla Plaza. you will need to go to the CID section. They will charge AED 120 for taking the finger print. You will get the form back the next day only as it needs to be signed by there head. So expect 2 visits atleast.
Lastly I would tell you to go with the Electronic Submission of the PCC on there website. As it much faster and once you send your fingerprint to FBI and they receive it through courier. You will get your pdf PCC in 2 days time on your email.
Oh yeah. One last thing on the FD-258 form fill in the details with black ink only and it would be better to write in CAPS. Also there is no need to get it notarised. We didn't do for ours and FBI accepted it.
Good Luck.
