US Police Records

[DanE1978]

Hello all,

I know that the instructions state that you do not need to provide US police records, but in your experience can providing them nonetheless help decrease the length of time spent in AP after a successful interview? I'm still in the US and requesting FBI records isn't too much of a hassle, even though I would rather not pay the fee (have no idea how much is it) if it is completely useless.

Thanks!

It’s not likely to reduce/decrease time spent on AP. They will still conduct the background check directly.

It costs $18 via money order that you send with your fingerprints to the FBI office in VA.

Thanks! Did you personally do it, and if so, did it seem to matter?

You realize you’re asking an unanswerable question? You’re assuming that anyone would actually know how much time they would have spent in AP without it.

Agree that’s it’s useless to do it, they’re going to get the stuff straight from the horse’s mouth anyway. I’ve never heard of a CP interview approval being held up pending fbi background checks (security checks for certain countries yes, but that's a different thing).
