Mine was delivered probably on the 6th or 7th of June (no tracking number). Credit card was not charged but when I called them, they said they were processing my request (sigh of relief).

It is not possible for you to catch the 8/30 deadline. Would recommend you submit your application now with LoE.
I did this and worked for me

ITA 17th May fbi pcc delivered 2nd June

Based on research and processing time in any case it wont reach by 16th August hence

I put loe with all proofs and explain they accepted and gave sixty days to submit so explain the stiutaion with proofs n u should b e okay

Reached on June 1, CC charged on Aug 15.

Called them now, fingerprints are ok and they will mail out the document tomorrow. My deadline is Aug 30. So I guess spending extra $20 for next day express air service finally helped me. Every day counts!! :)

I just sent 1 fingerprint sample done through UPS. I had my doubts about this application and didn't know then that we can send multiple samples, and so have another application in pipeline. I would suggest you guys to send 5 samples (that's the limit)..if you don't want to spend too much to the professionals, get 1 or 2 done from them and rest do it at home even A4 paper is fine. Since we are spending $18 and time is crucial, don't waste the remaining sample by not sending any. Also, people usually add a note saying "These are the best fingerprints which I could get" if one of your finger's prints are not that impressive (I am not sure how effective is the note though)

May the FBI be with you! :D All the best folks!

Dear

Thank You for your inquiry. Here are the answers to your questions:

1. Yes, you may send up to five sets of fingerprints for your one request.

2. No, you pay only $18 for each request that you mail – example: You send in one request with 5 sets of fingerprints, applicant form and one payment of $18.

You are welcome. Have a good day.

Best Regards,
Laura

Hello,


I know that sometimes the fingerprinting card is rejected due to improper fingerprints. I have following 2 questions:

1. Is it ok if I send multiple fingerprinting cards with my fingerprints in an application so that if something is wrong on one card, it can be used from the other one?

2. Do I need to pay $18 for each of my fingerprint card?

I appreciate you for replying all queries so patiently. Have a nice day!

Thanks,

Is this the one you used to send your application or is there any option to request express for their report?

So if you send by first class mail, it reaches in like 3 to 5 days. I used express - 'by air' mail service which delivers the letter on the very next morning. Basically for my current situation - my 90 days deadline is ending in 9 days. If I had chosen not to use 'by air', I could have missed my deadline. Now it seems possible to submit with PCC.

Note: With LOE you get extension for PCC. So not getting PCC within 90 days deadline is fine.

Yeah makes sense, wish there was an option for express delivery of the report too.

I am in a similar situation. Submitted PR application without PCC and was given extension to submit but the extension is not long enough. I plan to write a LOE requesting more time.

After waiting for 10+ weeks for my FBI report, I received a dreded "payment info missing " notice from them today. I had sent a Money Order but it seems that did not work out. I only have 9 days to submit my info to FBI.. strongly thinking of decining ITA ( I have a CRS of 434 )
Hey I also sent a money order(from Money gram). Could you tell me which money order you sent? So that I can take further precautions.
