 Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2013 9:29 pm Post subject: Quick Question/Refresher About CBC and Apostille |
 |
|
I have been doing my research on the web, but I keep getting confused. Sorry for the repeated question, but let me explain my situation first.
I applied through Aclipse and did their own web-based criminal background check online. Of course, I came back with a clean record. That's done. I sent in my documents (signed app., passport pic, health forms, etc.) and now I'm waiting for Aclipse/Chungdahm to tell me whether or not I get into Seoul because I told them it's basically Seoul or bust for me (I have family there, and I don't want to be far away from them in case of emergencies.)
----
In terms of other recruiters, I obviously want to keep my options open, so I got my fingerprints done today in the city.
Here is where I have an issue.
What is the quickest way to get all this crap done with the cbc and apostille/notary? I am at step one, where I just got my prints done today.
If I am correct, I have to send in the FBI fingerprint card I took today with the check for $18 to the FBI headquarters, wait x amount of days/months... After I get my card back and it says I am clean, I can get an expedited apostille from a website like usauthentication.com? After that, do I need to get it notarized as well? (Im not too worried about the notary because that's less than a days work I can just go to the notary...)
If I'm missing something, or if you guys have better information/advice, please let me know. I'm still so confused. Thanks again. |

You've got it!
1. CBC w/apostille
2. Notarized copy of degree w/apostille
This is for an E2 visa. I would recommend getting two copies of the everything. Also, don't forget to attach a cover letter making sure to get the FBI seal. You will be screwed if there isn't an official seal on the CBC. |

You don't need to take your background check to a notary. Just ask the FBI to authenticate the results. When you send your fingerprints to the FBI, include the following note on a separate piece of paper:
"Please authenticate my criminal background check results by placing the FBI seal and signature of a division official on the results for the purpose of obtaining a Federal Apostille."
When you get your results you can send them to D.C. for an apostille. |

| When sending my documents to DC for the apostille, can I get that expedited? |

| I would send it UPS to DC, It may save you a week or more. USPS gets routed through WV and then to DC. |
