FBI PCC

[CADparity]

Did anyone use a debit card instead of a credit card? I used a US Visa debit card on my form and was wondering if that would be a problem since it's not a credit card.

Have you ever succeeded in an online transaction with that Visa debit card? If so, the card is fully activated and should be no problem.

Yes, I've been using it for a couple of years. I was just wondering if there is a difference in this case because the FBI only mentions credit cards on their site.

I think it should be fine. Usually, by 'credit card', they also include debit cards with Visa/Mastercard logos that can be used like credit cards (swipe, online or over-the-phone transactions).

I did the finger printing by myself. Since there is such a delay with the backlogs and processing, like few others, I'm also getting a little worried with the quality of the finger print card I've sent. Can't help anything now other than just think over the process how i did and just pacify myself things were sent fine.

So in the search i found these two links which can be useful for people landing this thread before sending their FD-258 card and application to FBI

It's not true that you can't do anything now.
You can send another set of application with new fingerprint cards (you can include as many fingercards as you want/can afford). This time, have the fingerprint impressions taken by professionals.
I think it's something worth doing – considering that they now take 4 months to process this thing, and you don't want to have to wait another 4 full months if it the initial fingerprints are rejected.

Send a new request and make sure you have your fingerprints taken by a professional (also include at least 3-4 fingerprint cards). Trust me, if you do it yourself, it is almost certainly a rejection. I know cuz I wasted 3 months because of that.

Dear All,

I have a SINP Express Entry Nomination pending to be accepted before Feb 25 which i eagerly want to go for. However here i am trying to find out who will give extension for USA PCC as i stayed in 2 different states in USA for over a period of 17 months. I will begin the process of FBI PCC in just 1-2 days as i am trying to figure out the best way to have the fingerprinting done by myself.

a. Can SINP give me extension to accept the nomination, if yes the form from SINP website will suffice ?
b. Should i accept SINP and wait for ITA to file and then ask for extension from ITA?, If this is the right course of action, kindly explain it so that i can look for it now?

Which option is best suitable here a or b?

 

[MooseNBooze]

sikka1984, go with option b, that's the usual route. CIC gives extensions to upload FBI reports. Make sure your prints are clear and per FBI requirements. Best wishes to you.

 

[sikka1984]

thank you.. the credit card information form does not even ask for CVV number, will the transaction go through without it. I am using my mastercard from India. Not sure, if that declines what is going to happen next? :'(

Dear all
I hv a doubt regarding express entry profile. I got nomination from saskatchewan and also ITA after accepting nomination. I hv applied for PR on 19 jan 2016. As the file is in progress and my express entry profile expiry is 20 march 2016. So for that what i hv to do . Where i hv to inform cic about this or if i update my profile after it expires . Then it will all about creating a new one with new profile number and job aeeker validation code. But i hv recieves nomination on old profile number and pr file is processing on the same express entry profile. What would be the best way
Thnks

They don't need a CVV number to process the transaction. CVV serves as an additional security check for the merchant to make sure that you indeed have the card with you. That's why many merchants ask you for the CVV - it's for their own protection against fraud. But there are merchants that don't require it.

Just want to update: Card charged today - my application reached the FBI on October 15.

Thanks for the update. So it's 16+ weeks, not 13-15 weeks as they claim. What rot.
