^ Comes with Medical Request.

Btw, here's what I received as a reply to my email to FBI:
On September 7, 2014, the FBI CJIS Division deployed a new identity history system to provide enhanced services to the user community. As a result of this change in system infrastructure we are experiencing delays in responding to inquiries. Your request was received on 10-1-2014. The current estimated processing time for an FBI Background Check is 12-14 weeks from the date it was received. Additional time should be allowed for mail delivery. Unfortunately, no requests can be expedited at this time due to the amount of work.
I wasn't let known my application number or if it was processed. Can someone guesstimate the date by which I may expect to receive my PCC ?

Hi

Can any one let me know if the PCC request comes with the PER or with the medical request...
PPC request always comes from the VO. PER comes from the CIO. So your PCC request always comes after the PER and never with it.

There are a few people on this forum who got the PCC request before the MR, though most people get it along with the MR. But remember this is always from the VO, and happens only after your file gets transferred from the CIO.

So I should not bother myself with FBI fingerprints. I will not be asked for by the local visa office as I left the U.S. in October 2002. That will give me some comfort and avoid all these problems with fingerprints taking method and quality.
I just wanted to point out that in my case I had lived in a certain country for a few years after I was 18, but did not enter it again since March 2003. My local VO i.e. CPC-O did not ask me for PCC from it. If you did not enter the US after Oct 2002, there is a chance the VO may not request it. Anyway still try for the FBI PCC, but keep in mind that it may not eventually be needed.

Thank you very much for your reply on my concern. I did not go back to the USA after October 2002. But I am trying to get it from FBI. I was charged yesterday and hopefully the request does not get rejected because of illegible fingerprints.

Hi all,

Our friend in US just received our FBI reports last night (10th jan, 2015)

Our applications reached fbi on 26th sep, 2014
Our cc was charged on 25th October
We had our fingerprints done by a third party agency.
We also requested a change of address from indian address to US address on 23rd dec and the same was acknowledged within 24hrs
And finally our reports were received exactly after 15weeks 1day.

Good luck!

In movies we watch FBI taking finger prints from the ocean bed and nailing down the criminals next day. This delay is really pathetic.
You know, it took me less than 2 dollars, 24-36 hours, and a copy of my ID (no forms needed to be filled out) in order to get my Egyptian PCC
And they call it 3rd world...
Apparently the US likes to play the hard to get role...

Yes, happened to me in the first attempt.

They inform by letter that your fingerprints are rejected due to poor quality.

No refunds though.
