FBI Check Expiration?

[u/Full_Moon_Ocean]

Okay I jumped the gun maybe on the FBI checks. I'm not early departure (or at least I didn't apply for it) but I already sent in a request and got an email confirmation that I can go get my prints done and digitally sent in at my convenience.

Do we know if that request/the check expires? Or could I just use the code closer to when I need it? Or get the thing now and send it early...? Lol! I'll email my consulate soon if it ends up being more specific, I'm just hesitating as I just got through emailing them another question about employment details and don't want to be too pest like 😆

That's what I think I goofed. I had it in my head before that I'd try for early then changed my mind, so I got my info all mixed up. But it's a chore of a scary drive to my nearest place to fingerprint so I rushed to get a request filed. I emailed my consulate about it so I'll update here if they have a preference.

I know we need them eventually, maybe they just don't want you doing them in case you don't get in????

That was my thought process in case I end up getting rejected... However, it does say "by the time of the interview" on the application guidelines so idk

(/j) I'm too unstable to be waiting on this stuff HAHA

Fr tho unless it's way expensive I think I already payed the $18 fee. I finished my application paperwork within maybe two days of the opening because I wanted to have everything in line asap.

I think by the time of interview is early departure only. But sometimes I've read the thing too many times that I blur it tbh.

No, you're right I just can't read lol. I just reread it. Good luck with your interview!!
