Two countries, two providers, no one checking the file
- Week 1FBI prints near Mall Road
A local shop takes his prints on an FD-258 and he posts the card to a U.S. provider himself.
- Week 2No one nearby knows the C-216C
Canada needs ink prints on the official C-216C form, and he spends days looking for someone who has handled one.
- Week 5A second provider for Canada
The Canadian file goes to a separate agent, with its own fees, forms and tracking number.
- Week 9The FBI card comes back
Some prints are unreadable. He has to find someone to take them again and post a new card.
- Week 16Visa deadline at risk
Two providers, three couriers and no one looking at the file as a whole.
