FBI fingerprinting attorney San Jose service for immigration cases. Whether an attorney is sending a client, or a client whose lawyer asked for an FBI background check for immigration, we submit through our channeler partner and the FBI report returns the same business day.
Federal Identity History Summary, on your filing timeline
USCIS handles its own biometrics at ASC offices. What our immigration fingerprinting provides is the parallel piece your case needs: a direct FBI report through our FBI channeler partner, typically returned in one to four hours instead of the weeks a mail-in CJIS request takes.
Attorneys attach that report to RFE responses, N-400 moral-character packages, inadmissibility waivers, removal-defense exhibits, and asylum identity packets — the same source as the FBI’s own copy.
- Same-day FBI background check via channeler partner
- PDF delivery to attorney email or to the client
- FD-258 ink cards for foreign police clearance equivalents
- Mobile fingerprinting at your law office
Common attorney-driven scenarios
“Client has prior arrest — need to see what the bureau shows before we file the I-601A.”
“USCIS issued an RFE asking for federal record clearance — 30 days to respond.”
“N-400 moral character file needs an FBI report to corroborate the affidavit.”
Six attorney workflows we support daily
Case types Bay Area immigration attorneys send clients in for — each with filing-deadline pressure and evidentiary need.
Naturalization good moral character
For clients with prior law-enforcement contact, a clean federal record corroborates the moral-character affidavit and reduces RFE risk.
Federal record clearance for RFE
USCIS sometimes requests an applicant-pulled federal record check as supplemental evidence. We turn it around inside the 30-day response window.
I-601 and I-601A waiver evidence
Waivers benefit from a current federal record showing rehabilitation. Pull before drafting so you work from facts.
Crimes involving moral turpitude
Before advising on CIMT exposure, attorneys want to see exactly what the bureau has on file — not just what the client remembers.
Cancellation of removal evidence
Defense filings benefit from a current FBI report demonstrating continuous good moral character.
Asylum, U-visa, VAWA, T-visa
Identity-evidence packets for protection-based filings often include a federal record check to establish background clearly.
