Spouse Outside Canada - FBI & Police Clearance

1/25/07 Received FBI clearance - fi-nal-ly! Sheesh.

California LiveScan was received a couple days after it was done, FBI took 4 months. Took so darn long to get, I'm left wondering if we'll be asked to do the California one again. Grr.

My advice to anyone reading this: Get fingerprinted and send for your FBI clearance first. Then after about 14 weeks or so, send for your state police clearance. Depending on your state, you'll probably get them both around the same time.


Updated timeline:

09/29/06 - Got FBI and California DOJ fingerprints done
09/30/06 - Mailed paperwork to FBI and DOJ
10/03/06 - FBI received fingerprints
10/04/06 - Received DOJ clearance letter
01/25/06 - Received FBI clearance letter


Next: Photos and medical exam.
