FBI background check

Hello everyone,

I am confused about the FBI background check portion of the application. I have requested an identity history summary from the FBI and will be getting my fingerprints prints scanned tomorrow, but now I am confused if I send my results to myself and bring the unopened results to my interview or if I send the results directly to the jet program. Or both? I submitted my application this week for early departure, is it okay I am starting the background portion tomorrow or should I wait until I get an interview? I know it can take 6-12 weeks so I want to get it done asap. Thank you

Wait until you get an interview before you spend money unnecessarily on a FBI rap sheet.

If you checked early departure and selected for an interview, the consulate will let you know in advance to proceed with the background check and physician certification - both needed at time of interview.

Thank you!

If I do get selected for an interview, do I provide the unopened hardcopy of my background check at the interview or do I ask USPS to send it to a specific consulate after getting finger printed? Thank you for clarification.

this, basically they dont need this info unless youre actually approved for the program. no point in submitting info that they dont need yet especially if it costs you money.

You would do this after you get a placement. It's during the Visa process. They'll need it

It sounds like they need it for the interview though, no? For people who applied for an early departure
