Did anybody obtained PCC from NJ state?
I obtained one but I have a confusion. The report states that "Pursuant to your request for a criminal history background check, this letter is to advise that a search of the Master Fingerprint File of the New Jersey State Police, Identification and Information Technology Section was conducted and failed to reveal any criminal record."

Does this mean that I don't have any criminal record or it mean that it failed to do the search?
FYI, I have never been arrested in anywhere.

Seniors please give your comments.

Hi harrysaini and sar_can,
I just applied for pcc (FBI) last week and one the week before. I am yet to send the pack to cio.
Does VO accept the individual states' record? If so then its good to hear. Please let me know if cic will ask for the pcc or visa office only will ask.
I am confused on what to do. if i send now then they should not ask me immediately in 2-3 months. Hopefully the prints are accepted at fbi.

I don't know, whether visa office will accept state PCC or not. However, for some the forum members their visa office accepted state PCC.
My 1st attempt to FBI was failed. Therefore, I am requesting my visa office to accept the state PCC.

It totally depends on your visa officer assigned to your case that would he accept the State PCC or he would only want the FBI PCC.
Generally people go for State PCC if they are unable to get FBI PCC after the fingerprints have been rejected multiple times.

I believe sending a state PCC is worth a try but you should also start the FBI PCC in process and if the Case officer is adamant on wanting FBI PCC they you have to provide it ..no way out in that .

Its pain to wait at this stage. Sorry to hear. Does VO give extension again like another 60 days? Side by side you could apply to fbi again. Does the fbi guys reject the fingerprints manually taken or taken by professionals too?

Hi, Yes I send 2 sets in the last week (one taken by me and another taken by police station). But i heard that prints taken at police station also got rejected and the current system is not flexible as it was and rejecting many. After seeing this forum i got scared and thinking to send one set this week with digitally scanned prints. I am hoping one would work.

Just curious and confused, what type of prints are getting through?

just to be on the safer side i got mine done at a crime laboratory in my city ..if you want to be 100% sure then you can get them digitally scanned that 100% sure shot way so that the fingerprints would not get rejected.

Thanks. If you can share the link for the lab it would be great. Also i just took from couple of digitally scanned ones (Arizona Livescan Fingerprinting (prints are good) and cwsoa.com (prints not good) ). What i could see is that the machine records in the way the person rolls the finger similar to manual print. So if the person assisting on taking prints is not doing it correctly then it looks bad than the manual prints. This is what i could see in my prints printed from cwsoa while comparing with other digital one and manual one. I was also thinking that the digital one would be perfect but seems its customized again based on the person how he rolls the finger. i was thinking why we dont have a machine which will scan the fingers once and take needed prints but we do not have it for public i guess.

If you know the digital scan name which does good then please share.

Also one other help is that i would like to know is that will cic asks for pcc or visa office?
