@nskatcv: Yes, I believe the process varies by state. As for the multiple prints not being run through the system, that's what I was told when I spoke to a FBI contact center agent. Maybe she didn't know the process, maybe she did. Who knows. Bottom line is that 2x2 sets of my prints were rejected by their system.

I sent in a third set a week ago and am going to get another set of prints taken later today and send it off by tomorrow. My FBI PCC due date is first week of May, so I will reach out to them for an extension around mid April.

Good luck with your prints too.

Hi FSW_Applicant,

The town/city PD might not have it, but the state's central Troop might. Although may be different situation pan US.

I don't think FBI will stop after looking at only one of the prints. They themselves have asked for multiple prints (in one of the email exchanges with me after first rejection). You can definitely take more prints on simple A4 paper and it is acceptable. Its all about the quality and legible ridges.

It indeed has been one big bottleneck in the otherwise smooth PR process. But I am ok because I am not in a hurry to move.

All the best for your case though. I myself sent the other PCCs to CIC today.

Regards

Sorry to hear about your repeated rejections, it must be really frustrating. It may help to put a lot of cream on before your next set of prints. FWIW, I've heard people have success with Corn Husker's Oil. Also, if you want to get electronic prints, some PIs have the equipment to take them electronically and print them out on cards so that may help because the print is evaluated by the computer and can be retaken before printing.

Ours was taken electronically and many times there was a pop up that the prints were not good and the police officer was retaking it. Does it mean that we are safe? Should I send one more set of prints just to be on safer side?

There's no guarantees, but if the Officer retook them until he got a set where each print 'passed,' your odds are quite good :)

Guys,

I have applied for FBI PCC on 24th Dec and customer service told me that my report was dispatched from their facility on 15th Feb. It's almost 40 days over for me, and I am still awaiting to receive my PCC on my India(Gurgaon) address. This is really frustrating me ??? ??? ??? ???

I called customer service, where they advised me to mail to them a normal application with my signature and record no. of my application which they provided. They will process it again and then reproduce the report and again mail to me hardcopies using the same First Class Mail Service. They advised they can also send the copies again by Fedex Service, but I will have to pay for that.

Did anybody has done that to get the report using Fedex service, and could help me out.

Thanks

This is scary. I have not done this, but my report has not arrived yet even though they have mailed last week on 17th March. Have already passed the deadline of 23rd March.

This is something I have a lot of experience in! They notify you via mail. However, if the postal service misplaces the letter, then you can kiss it goodbye as they will not send another letter. So wait for 16 weeks and if you don't hear from them, call them.

Thank you OhCanadiana. I have been milking my fingers for a few days now, hopefully today's prints get accepted (my fingers are still red). None of the PDs near me do live scans, and the vendors that do, require you to be a citizen or permanent resident for the process. I'll be mailing out 2 more prints today and hope that one of them goes through.
