Immigration Fingerprinting in San Jose
for Your FBI Identity History Summary
Get your FBI Identity History Summary — the federal criminal-record report foreign consulates, USCIS, and immigration attorneys rely on — fingerprinted the same business day at our San Jose office and submitted through an FBI-approved channeler partner. Use it for an overseas visa, residency, or dual-citizenship filing, to review and challenge what’s on your federal record before you apply, or when your attorney needs it for your immigration case. We also roll FD-258 ink cards for foreign police-clearance requirements.
Your federal Identity History Summary, on your immigration timeline
USCIS handles its own biometrics at ASC offices, so we don’t replace a USCIS appointment. What our immigration fingerprinting in San Jose provides is the parallel piece many filings need — your FBI Identity History Summary through an FBI-approved channeler partner, typically back in one to four hours instead of the weeks a mail-in CJIS request takes.
- Same-day FBI background check via our channeler partner
- PDF delivered to your email or to your attorney
- FD-258 ink cards for foreign police-clearance equivalents
- Walk-in or by appointment, six days a week
Common immigration fingerprinting needs
“A foreign consulate asked for an FBI background check with an apostille for my work visa.”
“My residency application abroad requires a recent federal police record.”
“Dual citizenship — the country wants my FBI report authenticated for the Hague.”
Who needs an FBI Identity History Summary
Three reasons clients order their federal record through our San Jose office — each on a real filing deadline.
Visas, residency & dual citizenship abroad
Foreign consulates, employers, and residency programs require a recent FBI Identity History Summary — often apostilled — for work visas, long-term residency, and citizenship-by-descent claims in Italy, Spain, Mexico, Korea, and beyond.
Review and challenge your federal record
Request your own Identity History Summary to see exactly what the FBI has on file, then correct or challenge inaccurate criminal-record information before it affects an immigration filing.
Federal records for immigration attorneys
Immigration attorneys order their clients’ FBI background checks for naturalization good-moral-character files, removal defense, waivers, and adjustment of status — delivered to you or straight to your firm.
