Hey, I just got notified that we need to renew our FBI clearances so that they will be good when I get to Bulgaria, whenever that is. I am going to fill out the application in a little bit, and will send whatever I need to to you. If you could shoot me a quick message to know that you got this, it would be great.
Love you!
FBI Clearance Plan?
Ok, here is what I understand needs to happen in order for this whole thing to work:
1) I have printed and filled out the Applicant Information Form, including every field except Payment.
2) I will mail that to you via snail mail, in a regular envelope. You will then have that signed form. You can fill out the payment option (they want UPS 2 day--70.00) of the form.
3) As far as I understand, you should be able to then get a new set of my fingerprints on the required card (FD258) from downtown Spokane. Just like last time, we need two sets.
4) You can then mail that all in to the Accurate Biometrics place (see link), and should get it back in two days time, and can then mail it to the Church travel office.
I'm not sure if this is how it is going to work, but you can call the mission office if you want to get a hold of me--they will be able to call me. I am still not sure if I actually have to go and get my fingerprints actually rolled anew, but if so, I need to get it done as soon as possible. Hopefully you will get one of these messages and we can get this all figured out presto chango.
That is the link they sent me to get the Form and to see all the steps, if you want to check it out. I will also forward you the email I received from the mission office (if you haven't already gotten one by this point).
If I don't hear from the mission office by tonight, I will go ahead and mail the form I have signed to you, and hopefully you should get it by this weekend or so, and we can get this process going. Please tell the mission office to contact me to let me know if there is anything else I need to do--I want to get this figured out without too much hassle so we don't have to worry about it, and I can get back to work.
Love you so much!

Dear President Brown
Due to delays we are having a potential issue with Bulgaria and possible expired FBI clearances we need to address before missionaries leave the United States. Because of their delay, the FBI clearances they have previously obtained will be expired before the missionaries can complete the visa process once they arrive in Bulgaria.
You have 2 missionaries serving temporarily in your mission that we need your assistance with.
HARDY, Richard Tanner 446471
THATCHER, Megan Lela 461424
We need the missionaries to apply for FBI channelers, hopefully within the next week. We will also need to obtain apostilles but I can work on that from here once I get the channelers.
Here is the link to Accurate Biometrics
The missionaries need to fill out the application form, obtain 2 sets of fingerprints. We want the $70 UPS 2nd day service – we need an actual form sent to us. Most likely the missionaries will have to have the forms sent to their parents so have the missionaries email the parents and let the parent know they need to send them to me once they get them. I will also make contact with the parents. The instructions on this link are pretty easy to understand but you can call me at any time and I will be happy to walk you through the process. I think the Church should pay for this as the missionaries families have already born the expense of this process at one time. If you need to know from me how to bill that let me know.
This doesn’t have to be done today but should be done within the next week.
I am so sorry to add to your workload... Do you think you can get the ball rolling on this in the next week? Let me know.

Re: FBI Clearance Plan?
Tanner,
I called the Police Station here and they don't keep copies of fingerprints. So... you are going to get them taken again. Sister Holly said that you are living in Boulder. Here is the information from the Boulder Police Web Site:
The police department's main location at 1805 33rd St. offers fingerprinting on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Fingerprinting is also available at the Community Police Center on 16th Street, just south of Pearl Street, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The cost of this service is $11 per fingerprint card.
Phone: 303-441-3300
You will need to have $22 cash or use your debit card to pay for the two sets of prints.
Since you are getting the prints done there, I'm not sure that you need to send your application to me. I can give you the credit card information over the phone (through Sister Holly) and you can send the application in yourself. Use our home address on the application. When I get the clearance forms from accuratebiometrics I will send it on to Sister McMillan in the Mission Travel Office.
Let me know what else we can do.
Love you!
mom
Get the Prints Tomorrow!
Elder Hardy,
If you can - get your fingerprints done tomorrow. It sounds like you can't get them done on Friday. I called Sister Holly in your mission office and gave her the credit card information. You will need to print out the form for credit card payment and include it with your application.
We can do this!!
Love you,
mom
