Mastering The FBI Background Check Process For The D7 Visa: Completed and Apostilled In One Month

Working on the Portuguese D7 visa and flustered by that pesky FBI background check? In this video, I walk you through how I got my background check completed and authenticated with the apostille in around one month without hiring anyone.

I discuss how to get your fingerprints done and mailed to the FBI, how to fill out the FBI background check request (including explanations of some important questions), and how to get this report authenticated. I also share some information about the costs and timeline.
