FBI PCC

[o_o]

Good point.. I was trying to question the same to several others. I'm an Indian living in NY. just 300 miles away from Canada border ;-).
Now that I'm aware that I should NOT send my PP via mail to Canada.

Do "we" as an application request cpc-o to change the Visa office to NY?
OR
Does VO change it themselves to NY VO?

I think you should read your passport. It clearly says that you cannot send it outside the country you live it. You can authorize a person to carry it out for you though. On the other hand I have heard of people sending the passport by mail/post. Other countries allow it, but India doesn't. So it invariably goes through without any problems in the customs in CA/US. (unless you are a fool and try to send this through the Indian customs. I know someone who got his passport revoked for 3 or 5 years.)

Your visa office remains CPC-O. When you get the PPR, you tell them that you would like to print your visa in the US. After a month the Los Angeles consulate would contact you. (I didn't select Los Angeles. It is furtherest from me. However only a few consulates can do the PR visa printing.)

Hi Friends,

I would like to share some info about the US FBI PCC extension.

My Timeline for FBI PCC:
Sent on: 28th Nov 2014
Received by FBI: 2nd Dec 2014
CC charged: No
Current status : Not yet opened(as on 10th Feb, called the FBI)
Files being opened: 18th Nov 2014(as on 10th Feb, called the FBI)
Files being processed: 26th Oct 2014(as on 10th Feb, called the FBI)
Average Time to get: 4 months(16 weeks)

About PCC Extension:
We have raised a CSE on 4th Feb(fifteen days ahead of my deadline) for extension of time for submitting FBI PCC.

On 9th Feb, afternoon I got a call from NDVO, following is the conversation:
VO: Hello, am I speaking to AARDEE
Me: Yes, who is this
VO: I am calling from Canadian High Commission New Delhi. Can you confirm your UCI#, Daughters name and email id.
Me: Gave the neccessary details.
VO: Thank You. We have received you medicals and rprf, but your FBI PCC is pending. Can you tell me when is it going to be submitted.
Me: I explained the situation and pointed the delay in processing the PCC by FBI.
VO: We are aware of the situation, we would like to extend it for 40 days. I will be sending you a short email about the same.
ME: Thank You! Can I ask you a couple of questions.
VO: Yes
ME: What if I dont get the FBI PCC within the extended time.
VO: You can definitely send another request, but you can also send email to the US FBI office by telling them the need by showing you email from CHC NDVO, so that they may speed up the process, just to try meanwhile.
Have you sent the Indian PCC?
ME: Yes with medicals and rprf
VO: Ohh k, that's OK
ME: Are our medicals OK
VO: We found that all the members of your family are medically fit, thats OK.
ME: Have you encashed the rprf fee
VO: Yes
ME: The only thing pending from our end is the FBI PCC? Is it correct?
VO: Yes
ME: Thank you for the update, thanks a lot.

About VO: Indian Origin male Visa officer. Very humble and patient. Conversed in English.
Call Duration: 4+ mins
Phone Number: +911141782000

Question I missed to ask:
Can we send state PCC instead of FBI PCC.

Received the email immediately after the call with extension for 40 days.

I never expected them to call me about a CSE. However, I felt very relieved as all the documentation part is complete except FBI PCC.

And Sorry guys. I couldn't share the info earlier, as I was very busy in the office for the past two days.

Hope this info is of help to someone.

Congratulations to all the people who got good news.
My wishes with the people who got bad news, don't lose hope, keep trying!

Thank You all forumites/well wishers and Thank you GOD!

Glad to hear October apps are over. Any news on which date they are opening applications?

 

[SSPT]

I am not too sure !
But I guess there is a gap of 10-15 days between opening and processing .

I got an extension for the FBI PCC from the ndvo. I completed my medical two months backs. But still have not gotten the 3rd line update. I was thinking that they are waiting on my application because of pending document. Is there anyone else in this situation ?

My VO : CPC-O

I was under the same situation like yours (until last friday, they updated the 3rd line).
It took 2 months for them to update the ECAS to "Medical Received".
Not sure about the reason.

I too received my FBI reports only now.

My application was received by FBI on Nov 10, 2014 and my money-order has not been cashed as of yesterday. When I called FBI, they told me the payment/charging has started and the processing of my application might take two more weeks to complete. Is this normal? Why does it take so long to clear the payment through money order?

This was posted in another thread. There seemed to be a problem where the IME numbers generated for the medicals were not sent to eMedical. This caused problems for doctors to enter your medical information. Ultimately the CIC asked the doctors to generate their own IME (UME) numbers and put the candidates IME number in the comments. This matching was done manually, so it was causing this delay. I'm not sure if this issue got fixed.

Thanks. Did the status got updated after you sent the FBI pcc or did it get updated before it reached CPC-o

I got response from FBI today for my e-mail inquiry,

We are currently opening mail from 11/25/2014. Give us a week or two and we can check it again.

I had sent my forms from Toronto on Dec 3rd 2014 via Canada Post. Any idea when the application would have reached? I think it takes 4-6 working days.

It got updated even before I received the FBI pcc.
So it's definitely nothing to do with fbi pcc.

I got the third line (medicals received) on Jan 11. Still waiting for FBI PCC. So, no connection (on my case, at least)
