    Default What the hell? Stupid FBI!

    So I need a background check before I can get residency, right? Yeah, okay. Call the FBI headquarters in Australia.

    So I call them

    You can ONLY call them between 2-4pm on weekdays. TEN HOURS A WEEK.

    WTF?!!

    They're only open TEN hours a week?!

    Ughhhh.

    The US is so fricken DIFFICULT with these things.

    Why does the government DO that?! What the hell?

    "We're only open for ten seconds on the third thursday of every month except for all holidays of every religion, country and birthday."

    I love it though because there's a section that said, "To make a comment on your opinion of the United States Government, Press 2".... I was like... OoooOooo!

    Shouldn't you just have to fill in a form for a background check, or is this something new?

    They usually have you request a police record from every state you lived in for 6 months or more over the past ten years.

    Have you had to fill in a form 80 yet? It took me 6 hours, and I had to counsult 3 passports. It took so long I saved the info just-in-case I ever need it again.

    You ought to try and contact the consulate just after the time change... sometimes they don't fix the computers for weeks.

    I did form 80 in front of them. Took me 20 minutes.

    And it's every country you lived in for a YEAR so Australia doesn't count. So I need one from the US FBI.

    They wanted a full traceup from my passports for every trip I ever made to and from australia.... god dammed... Taiwan, HK, NZ, KL, Korea, lol. Also an almost complete resume... every place I had worked, contacts there etc. They wanted dates etc. Seemed like forever. I was watcing Lord of the Rings trilogy at the time.

    That is crazy, but I bet your details are automatically collected and you are put on a list....

    Still it would be fun to hear, just repetative.

    Good luck, I'm buggered and off to bed. Driving test soon, and I have not been driving.... I just pray I can exit this white shirt business successfully in 6mo time... I can't stand white... not on my shirts at least.

    Yeah it was kinda shit. They wanted my info on my 12 and 3 hour overlays in New Zealand where I didn't leave the airport!! WTF?! They got all pissy with me when I didn't mention them. Like, really, I didn't think staring out an airport window was REALLY a trip somewhere, but ooookay! I slept on a couch in Terminal 3 in New Zealand, I must say so!!

    Luckily I'm 20 so I've only been to 5 countries.

    Yeah I know how you feel. Glad I had the chance to do my form in peace. I'm tired but can't sleep, bah. I'll only clutter the thread.

    *big yawn*. must try and sleep and think good thoughts.

    Dot those I and cross those Ts.

    Funny the Empress znd I have gotten so used to doing this shit we just have everything to gether when we have to do something official. Although there are still times where she does not get it, like making sure she brings my passport as well and not fighting me about it. I should tell you about the time at the INS she refused to bring my passport, because we were going for her. Dam bastard security accused me of being an illegal. with "is that so" bullshit... Can't help I've lived OS since 15 and the only US ID iI have is social security card, birth certificate and passport.... she is so afraid of losing them. grrr

    like I said big yawn. must try to sleep.

    The US is so fricken DIFFICULT with these things.
    Don't want to shatter your preconceptions about the FBI or the US IC in general, but they have a little more on their hands than just running background checks for ex-pats.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    I'm going through a similar situation. I have forms to hand into the US consulate here...but only between I:30pm and 3pm. Mondays and Tuesdays

    Do you have to get a fingerprint check for Aussie immigration? That'll be a fun one!
