One Seville shop, four providers, no plan
- Week 1A shop near Plaza de Armas.
The card leaves Seville in a plain envelope. Nobody checks the prints first.
- Week 5Rejected for poor prints.
Three impressions are too faint for the FBI to classify. Rodrigo has his prints taken again in Los Remedios and posts a new card.
- Week 12Back without an apostille.
The result arrives in English and without an apostille, so the original must go back across the Atlantic.
- Week 17His translation is refused.
A friend's translator is not a traductor jurado, and the Ministry of Justice asks for a sworn version.
- Week 22Filed at long last.
Two fingerprinting sessions, three couriers, and a nationality application delayed by five months.
His prints taken once in Seville, filed once
- Day 1Prints at home in Triana.
Our associate verifies his passport, takes the FD-258 and checks every print before leaving.
- Week 1The card reaches Washington, DC.
Globeia's team there submits it to the FBI and records it in Globeia SmartPortal.
- Week 4Result checked by us.
Our team checks the result for errors as soon as it arrives.
- Week 5Stamped, then translated.
The U.S. apostille is requested that week, followed by a sworn Spanish translation.
- Week 7Ready for the Ministry.
One invoice. An apostilled and translated FBI Police Clearance, ready for his nationality application.
