An MBBS graduate from India had cleared USMLE Steps 1 and 2, obtained ECFMG certification, and been matched to a medical residency program at a US hospital through the NRMP Match. Before she could begin her residency, the state medical board required a fingerprint-based background check as part of her medical license application.

Six years in the US, a stalled visa renewal, and a tight pivot to Canada PR. Canadian immigration required an FBI PCC for every applicant who had lived in the US for more than six months — Pritham had lived there for six years.

A nursing graduate based in India was applying for a Registered Nurse (RN) license with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) — a mandatory step before appearing for the NCLEX-RN examination. The state board required a fingerprint-based background check through an approved channeler in the US.

An Indian professional had previously worked in South Africa for over two years in the IT sector. He had since returned to India and was applying for Permanent Residency in Canada through the Express Entry system. IRCC required PCCs from every country where he had lived for six months or more. South Africa was one of them — requiring a certificate from SAPS with manual ink fingerprinting on the SAPS 91 form.

An IT professional had spent several years working in Canada before returning to India to care for his aging parents. Back in India, he joined an Indian IT company where his international experience made him a valuable contributor. Years later, his company decided to send him to Australia on deputation. For his Australian work visa, he was required to submit PCCs from every country where he had previously lived — Canada was one of them, requiring an RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check.

A couple in their forties — both doctors, both of Indian origin, both US citizens — had permanently moved back to India. They made a deeply personal decision: to adopt a child from India. As part of CARA's intercountry adoption documentation process, they were required to submit FBI PCCs — background checks confirming their criminal record status in the United States. Since they had permanently relocated to India, they needed a professional fingerprinting service here to handle it correctly.

A young professional was applying for Permanent Residency in Canada and needed an FBI PCC covering his time as an international student in the US. During the initial consultation, he hesitantly disclosed that as a student he had been charged with a DUI — Driving Under the Influence. The case had been dismissed. No conviction. No penalty. But he was anxious: would this show up, and would it affect his Canada PR?

An Indian national had previously lived in the United States where he was convicted of an offense, served his sentence, and returned to India. Years later, he was planning to immigrate to New Zealand. Before proceeding, he consulted his US attorney who advised him to apply for a pardon first — New Zealand has strict character requirements and a formal pardon application on record would significantly strengthen his case. The pardon application required fingerprinting and a State PCC.

An Indian professional had been living and working in Australia on a work permit for several years and was now applying for Permanent Residency. The Department of Home Affairs required a fingerprint-based National Police Check from the AFP — a more thorough verification than the standard name-based check. He was visiting India during this phase of his application and needed the fingerprinting done before returning to Australia so his PR documentation could move forward without delay.

An elderly Indian couple had spent thirty years in the UAE as Indian citizen expatriate workers. Their son had moved to the United States for higher education. The couple applied for a US B-2 visitor visa to visit their son. The US consulate noted their thirty years of UAE residence and asked them to submit a UAE PCC as part of their documentation. As Indian citizens whose UAE residency had ended years ago, their Emirates IDs had long since lapsed — making the standard online UAE PCC route unavailable. Manual fingerprinting was mandatory. The couple were elderly and unable to travel.
