I’m scheduled to take my FSP at the MPO next Tuesday. Currently hold a TS/SCI with CI. After completing the FSP exam, what is the adjudication timeline for obtaining a decision?
My clearance timeline to get to this stage:
- Investigation completion date: 12/2023
- Ts with SCI eligibility date: 12/2023
- SCI indoctrination with Company A for Chantilly Customer: 01/2024
- FSP paperwork submitted to MPO via Company B: 07/2024
- Clearance Crossover Submission via Company B for Springfield Customer: 01/2025
- Clearance Crossover Approved for Springfield Customer: 01/2025
- CI poly with Springfield Customer successful adjudication date: 02/2025
- FSP exam for MPO scheduled for 04/2025
- FSP adjudication date: TBD
What does MPO stand for?
Only answer anyone can give you is “it depends” which isn’t a great answer but everyone’s clearance timeline is unique. The Q1 2025 Trusted Workforce report says the fastest 90% of clearances are averaging 20 days in adjudication, but (a) that’s the fastest 90%, (b) it’s an average.
