Subject: FBI FingerPrint Check
  Hi,
I have had my finger-prints done in Aug, 2004. I havent heard any kind of response from the FBI since. I thought that it only took upto 5 weeks to get the police clearence from the FBI (It´s almost been over 12 weeks). I have already submitted my medical exam form etc. Has anyone had this problem before? Could someone tell me who to contact? Thanks.

Hi there!
I had same problem with FBI fingerprints. Submitted in June
and did not receive anything until Aug. When I called CJIS,
I was told that it would take them at least five weeks before openning any mail they receive(due to security reasons), and they receive about 150,000 envelopes per day.
Anyway, I was told that my fingerprint were no good and I had to resend new fingerprints and start all over again.
I told them that I had a deadline of one week. They asked me to fedex the new fingerprints the same day and include
return paid fedex arrangements. I received mine in about
three days. Unfortunately, I did not keep the phone numbers, But here is the web address for CJIS:

http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/cjis.htm

Good luck and try to contact them ASAP.

I followed up my request to mih@leo.gov (i found this emaill address in a website, but i forgot already what site it is but it has something to do with FBI) and they responded positively. You can politely ask them to expedite your clearance certification with an explanation that you badly need this for Canadian immigration purposes. Provide the tracking number and once they find it, they will be able to start their verification on the same day, like what happened in my case.

Good luck to you!

We have a problem! (in reply to: FBI FingerPrint Check)
I sent for my criminal background check from you. I received a brown envelope in the mail today, I was quiet surprized to find someone elses information in it. Someone who is in jail in Bare Hill Correctional Facility in New York State. Where´s my information? In this day and age, with all the identity theft, I am concerned that the Dept. of Justice could make this kind of mistake. Please email me ASAP. Where´s my information?
Thank-you , Susan Neal
