Hi, a friend of mine submitted her entire file for her Prof Visa in December 2014. It went through 2 rounds of revision in December. Now, in January, she received another email stating that she now needs an FBI background check. I read on this forum a few days ago that this is a new requirement (whereby before one could use a letter from their local police department). Can someone tell me when this new law took effect, and where it is stipulated. Obviously, she would like to argue that she submitted her file prior to the new requirement. We are in Quito. THANK YOU for any guidance.
