I recently got my FBI PCC and I have one question about it. My PCC is black &white except the seal on top left which is color. Is the seal supposed to be color or black&white? I know it is a silly question but I am wondering if I got the wrong format PCC.

Hey Guys,
I got the FBI PCC today. My request for the letter reached FBI on 12th April. There is one problem though. My name on the PCC is misspelled. Does anyone know where to contact or what to do in this situation?
This happened to me. I gave them a call and they made sure it was their mistake (as in, it hadn't been spelled wrong on the paperwork I sent) and then sent me a new one within a few days.
Based on phone call with FBI on Friday they confirmed prints are ok and report is processed. Expected to be mailed on Jul 3 or Jul 5 depending on mailroom backlog.
Really need some advice. I have an Express Entry Profile and my attorney believes I'll receive an Invitation to Apply for PR within the next month. I have all my documents taken care of, EXCEPT the Police Clearance. My lawyer advised me to wait until rightafter I receive an ITA to obtain them, as they are only valid a year and who knows what could happen (perhaps I WON'T receive an ITA soon).
1) WHEN did you get your finger prints taken?
- While waiting for your ITA? (then immediately send to FBI for police clearance?)
- Right after receiving ITA?
2) If you got them while you were waiting for the ITA, do you know how long they are valid for? That is, how long can I have them in my possession before mailing to FBI?
3) Did you send in live-scan fingerprints or ink/rolled? It appears FBI site says both are valid, but continues to reference ink finger print cards.

1) I did my prints after I got my ITA. I would suggest you though to get the prints taken *right away* and send to Clarksburg ASAP. Your lawyer is right: we have to wait for that forbidden "FBI letter" till the last date and then upload a CSE saying I didn't receive a response from the FBI. Why the hassle of waiting so long when you can send those prints now and worry about your other stuff.
2) FBI report's valid up until your next US visit. It dudn't matter how long the validity just that you need the report *after* you leave the States.
3) I had 'em ink rolled. Only US citizens/Green card holders can use print cards and use channelers for sending the prints.
