Bryan Graham I don't know that you can do that. The passport and visa will get mailed to a U.S. address and the fingerprint clearance for FBI background also is done from specific locations in the states.

Bryan Graham I did the FBI background clearance. It was easy...and super fast.

I had to go to a specific place that did electronic fingerprints. Filled out a form, rolled the prints.

This was at 1 pm on a Monday at a place about 45 minutes from my home in Phoenix, Arizona. By the time I pulled into my driveway, no joke, there was a notification on my email that the FBI had already APPROVED and it was being mailed to me that DAY!!!

By Friday at noon, the clearance paper was in my mailbox.

EXACTLY! That was recommended to me...for precisely this same reason. Do it now, or as soon as possible...then if there is a glitch or other issue, you have plenty of time to fix it and then go directly to LA in person.

I was worried about mailing my passport off. Never done that before and that thing is precious, right? But I paid extra for the tracking and wow, talk about fast turnaround.

I am on an O-A Multiple Entry visa. Sent off for it in the mail to Washington, D.C. Tracking number and everything, just to be safe.

Got it back two weeks later. Bingo.
