Hi NuvF,
I agree it might be helpful for some of the late applicants.
At least it won't hurt. Just in case it might be a death or life
issue for some people. If there are any errors they can be
challenged ahead of time. Sometimes background checks
for some very common names come back with errors.
I agree it might be a peace of mind for some people.
For the late applications everything counts.
Time is more than money from now to the end of FY2010.

Those of you who are in the tail end of the process and who are in US and planning either AoS or CP......consider doing this on your own as well.

Completely optional and would help your 'PEACE of MIND'
If any ERROR is found (that you need to and should challenge) , it will be money well spent !!
Instructions are very clear, do not get too confused.
For the reason to apply just say 'For Personal Review'
Fingerprints can be taken at your city police/sheriff dept. office. (they have the FD-258 cards, usually cost ~$5 per card)
After application is sent it takes ~3-4 weeks for record reply.
Best !!
PS: DV 11 ppl, you may also consider doing this later on near to your 'Current' month, just to make sure you are on the clear and they have no ERROR about you.
