Hi,wondering if some of you out there have been in my shoes. Have recently applied for a job within the HSE, I have filled out my Garda clearance for Ireland & given it in. I have spend 20 years in America so I need to get security clearance via the FBI. Having been on their website can anyone tell me if what I need is 'identity history summary checks' whereas I need to do fingerprints etc.. If so can you please let me know what you did...did u print out the fingerprint form and just go to a local Garda station for them to take them... How did you fair out with filling out form etc.... It seems a bit daunting at the moment. I know too well that these things must be 100% as I'm sure they will send straight back something that is a small bit wrong as it is the FBI of the United States.. If someone can take me thru what they did to obtain overseas clearance from USA would be a great help. Thank you.
