I am from Chennai and I have done masters from US and obviously I have to get the FBI PCC from India. Could anyone please provide the step by step procedure in obtaining them. I did find many websites listing out details but they are all kind of misleading. What should be my first step towards acquiring FBI PCC? Should i request through mail using the link https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks ?

Hello if you are unsure about what to do. Here is the procedure.
1. Fill out the online application for identity summary history you will get a email with a link and a PIn. The PIN is important. It is used to access your account.
2. Once you do the payment and everything you will get the confirmation email. You will need that to send the fingerprints to FBI.
3. Download the FD 258 fingerprinting form and print it.
4. Now you can either choose to visit your nearest police commissioner office to get your fingerprinting done (cheap Option). Or you can google some forensic agency which does the fingerprinting (this is costly).
5. Once you have FD258 form with fingerprint mail that form with confirmation email to FBI address given in confirmation email.
6. In about a 3-5 days you will have your PCC.
I hope that explains everything.
I did my own Fingerprints. Sent about 12 copies.
I got thr PCC delivered to my email.
I wasn't confident at first.. but after ruining 10 sheets, I was
Which I found better than private agencies ripping me off..
I completed my fingerprint in Chennai and mail the fingerprint card with the email confirmation to the FBI CJIS Division, West Virginia and mail it on 11 Mar. The package got delivered on Mar 17 and since then I didn't get any update from FBI.gov. is this normal? How long should I wait for the completion of the PCC?

FBI doesn't respond to the Identity History Summary requests right now due to the virus. Unfortunately, no information on when they reopen is available
Hi Identity History summary service is suspended till this coronavirus pandemic is going on .. there was a circular on their FBI website ... Best option for you if you have received your ITA is mail the customer service email and whatever response you get attach that with a LOE when uploading documents.
I got this response from them on Friday from their customer service.
It can take 3-5 business days from the date when the fingerprints are received, and as long as the envelope was addressed to the EXACT address provided in the confirmation email, for our Processing Center to match up, for your status to change and for the request to be completed. After your request is complete, you will receive an email notification. You will then go back to the original email where your PIN is located and click the link and type the PIN in to review your report in electronic PDF format.
If you requested a hard copy response, you will get both an electronic and a hard copy response. The hard copy response will mail out approximately 3 business days after your request is completed. All hard copy responses are mailed through the US Postal Service First Class Mail. Please allow standard mailing time (three weeks in the US and four weeks outside the US) to receive the response. There is no tracking number with the US Postal Service First Class Mail.
Thank you,

I never knew they were closed for now. Also I can't find any information regarding their service being suspended. Can you point where I can find the info?

I did the below way and it was very fast
1) Register on edo.cjis.gov.
2) Complete the $18 payment for the EDO.
3) Register on USPS's website for digital fingerprint capture with your EDO order number. Do this before going to USPS.
4) Go to an eligible post office during service hours. No appointment required.
5) A post office employee will take your fingerprints and charge you $50.
6) The FBI will send an email notification when the results are ready. Use the link in the original confirmation email of the EDO to login and view the results.
