A Patiala campus shop and ordinary post
- Week 1Prints at a campus shop.
A shop on Rajpura Road rolls his FD-258 in between photocopying jobs.
- Week 3Sent by ordinary post.
There is no tracking, and the card takes five weeks to reach a vendor in the U.S.
- Week 8Three fingers unreadable.
The prints are too poor for the FBI to classify, and nobody checked them before they left Patiala.
- Week 11Starts again, by courier.
New prints, a courier this time, and the Express Entry deadline still approaching.
- Week 17Files with days to spare.
Two shops, two postings, and a whole invitation window lost to waiting.
One visit to his Patiala home, weeks to spare
- Day 1Printed at home, Urban Estate.
FD-258 rolled and checked on the spot, and the Letter of Identity Verification issued before the associate leaves.
- Week 1Card lands in Washington, DC.
Globeia's team submits it to the FBI the same week. He follows each stage in Globeia SmartPortal.
- Week 3Result back and verified.
The details match his passport. IRCC accepts it as issued, without an apostille.
- Week 4PDF for the upload.
He receives a clear scan for IRCC and keeps the original at home.
- Week 6Profile complete.
A single invoice. His Express Entry application is filed with weeks to spare.
