I had to learn the 3 second rule when I left the SPs. Still slip at times.

Sorry to kinda repeat what others have asked, but if you have undergone a recent SSBI/T5 investigation but only cleared to the secret level, and are now starting an investigation for a TS with another agency (say, State), how would this speed up this TS investigation. Could they use the interviews already completed or would they have to reinterview all contacts? If it is a similar SSBI/T5 investigation, what exactly if the difference if cleared to S or TS?
Thank you!
State does not play well with any other agency reciprocity wise. They have a process for it but will stall at every opportunity. I would anticipate going through the entire thing until at least you meet with the BI person. Telling them in person as well on the form that you have an exisiting clearance…may allow them to use their own backchannels to get the relevant and still in scope items.
Thank you! Much appreciated.
@Amberbunny2 Quick question regarding reciprocity…brand new TS transfer from DOJ to DOJ agencies (FBI to DEA) or (FBI to Marshals Service)… Do you think it would be a smooth transition?
Normally that is smooth as both use the same BI and transfer office. Problems happen when you go from, say a three letter…to DoD. One uses a closed system, not JPASS. So it takes a while to follow the correct path and get it recognized.

Hi @Amberbunny2 You’re the man.
Quick question:
I’m a direct hire for a 3-letter IC agency, TS clearance, for a role that will use my graduate degree skills. I submitted my SF-86 in June of 2018, did my psych/poly in May 2019, and the BI wrapped up in mid-August 2019. I have never resided abroad, and listed no foreign contacts.
I’m guessing I’m in adjudication- any idea as to roughly how many months someone in my situation can expect to wait?
Hey @Amberbunny2, How much adjudication can an adjudicator adjudicate if an adjudicator couldn’t adjudicate adjudications?

Thank you. I really appreciate you getting back to me so quick.
Hi,
Any word on how long adjudication is taking these days for DoD initial secrets? Submitted equip back in March 2019, was interviewed in May and am still pending eligibility as of October.
Seeing up to a year as of late. It was always slow. Now it barely moves.

I just entered my 19th month post sf86 for TS SCI FSP
Hi @Amberbunny2, any idea as to how long a direct hire going for TS clearance in a 3-letter IC agency can expect to wait in adjudication? For me it’s been 17 months since SF-86 and I’m guesstimating I’ve been in adjudication for about 3 months now based off of when the BI/poly wrapped up.
Here is my status 24 months into the TS Clearance , got a courtesy call today saying “Actively being processed”
Can’t speak to any one agency over another and how they process clearances. They all have their quirks. I do know I have some entering 24 months shortly for TS. The system has been clogged since 1989 and over the years I can’t count how many times I heard “we jsut created a new “thing”, we expect the backlog to work itself out in 18 months or less.” The clog just seems to get bigger and bigger.
I’ve been in adjudication since March 2019. Should be a crappy ride.
