Well, I'm getting all my paperwork in order to make the move to Cuenca this June, and get my Visa. The last thing I plan to do before I leave the states, is to get my state police back ground check done. I had heard in the past, that it had to be no older than 90 days, and that it had to be issued from the state you have been living in for the last 5 years, and that it must encompass the prior 5 years.
Now the rub: I have an acquaintance that is going through the process right now. She was told that she could sneak through under the old rule, but in the near future, you must have an FBI background check, to include fingerprints. If this is the case, it will add to the lead time I'll need. Also, this new information is not recognized by my attorney in Cuenca. Just when you think you are comfortable knowing the requirements, you get Ecuadored!
Anybody going through the process know of this new requirement?
Thanks,
Neil
