FBI request
- Thread starter TJL
- Start date
"Immigration" is fine as the reason.
If you don't put a date on the outside of the envelope, they might still open it quickly.
The CJIS number is (304)625-5590 option#3. You will get a live person and you can ask when they received your request and whether it will be expedited.

(((I think you'll still be ok. Keep in mind that the people who answer the phones are not the same as those doing the background checks.
I suggest you call back and ask two things very politely:
1) when did they receive your application?
2) does it show in their database that your application has a deadline?
Everything is put into a database the moment they open it. So they should be able to answer these two questions.
Good luck.

they said they received it and i will get it end of november, i planned on filing end of october. 2 options
1) resend prints to FBI with a date of October 15 or so and hope they come back by then
2) file PR app on schedule and just send in FBI check a month later.
Will me sending it in a month later delay my processing time?I want the shorted route possible.I am filing outside canada thru Buffalo. Family class-Spousal.

I would choose option 1 if you want to make sure you receive the background check in time. I think they'll return your application if all the documents aren't included.
To make your FBI request go faster, you could send them a prepaid courier envelope to return your background check. It will save you a few days. I suggest you send them a USPS Express Mail envelope with enough stamps to cover postage. Second, pay the $18 fee by credit card (there's a form for this on the FBI website). And finally, make sure you put your deadline on both the outside of the mailing envelope and your application.
