 |
|
| I've ordered and got the Texas CBC via mail, but the thing looks like I printed it off online...it has a website address on the bottom of the page. Has anyone successfully used this CBC? Also, has anyone used a different states CBC? |

| That's dishonest. And, it won't be accepted. |

| yes, you can use another state's CBC, which is one of the reasons everyone finds the background check so useless. i'm from TX, also, but used a check from TN - i've never technically lived there, and my residency status is still linked to TX. nobody questioned me or my documents and i got my visa confirmation very quickly. |

| How about the great state of Minnesota? Does anyone know if their CBC looks reputable? |

Do you remember how quick the turn around was? |

| Only a matter of time before they close this loophole and only accept FBI check. Especially since certain bozo's talk about it openly on a site the immy high command follows. |

i got my CBC in 10 minutes from the local P.D. apostilled/mailed, etc (2 days). from the time it arrived at the immigration office in korea to the point my confirmation number was sent to me: about 6 days. |

ha! there have been a few threads about using CBCs from alternate states. and if you seriously think that immigration finds Dave's ESL Cafe at all a credible source, please provide some examples (other than crazy hagwon bosses and chain schools scouring the forum). i would genuinely love to hear your second-hand anecdotes.

Agreed. You'd be surprised who reads Dave's.  |

that's encouraging! it only took three days to get my CBC and apostille and it should have been delivered to the immigration office last thursday or friday. i hope it is completed this week but both the school and my recruiter are worried it will be longer....i guess with chuseok it is possible, although wasn't it only a day or two off for the holiday? |
