This already exists. In the form of clearance databases such as JPAS.
This wait is insane. Reading through these, I’m guessing I’ll have to get used to it.

How do you check credit was ran ?
You can get a free credit report each year from each of the credit reporting agencies (annualcreditreport.com). Under the inquiries part of the report, there is a list of companies/organizations that pull the credit. This will be a “soft” inquiry, doesn’t impact your credit score. Whereas loan companies, credit card companies result in a “hard” inquiry.

Thanks KayNay. I have been looking reports through other service which only shows me hard inquiries. I will check through annualcreditreport.
I have been in Adj for six months now. And this is getting frustrating.

If they haven’t run credit your file is not in Adjudication, its sitting in the queue of 600k. What type of clearance BI is it?
I am planning on requesting my BI record. Do I have option to put an electronic request or is it only through mail? Does adjudicator receive exact same records that i would receive to make decision or do they receive something more than that?
My SF-86 was submitted in August 2016. The investigation wasn’t opened until November 2016. I didn’t get an interview until December 2017…and the investigation is still open.
Today I saw that my credit was pulled in Oct 2017. I had called OPM line in Jun 2018 to find that my BI was closed and sent to DOD for adjudication in May 2018.
Since then FSO is saying that JPAS is showing tha Adj is In Progress.
What.
That is crazy. From what I can tell, the process is even slower this year than it was in 2016.
My background investingation that i was reffering to is for TS
Congress has not put enough resources because this mess doesn’t affect them directly. I am sure, they get their clearances in some form of expedite manner. Further, clearance applicant population is not large enough to make significant noise and deter politicians’ vote share.
This process reminds me of Master-Slave model in which applicants from general population is slaves. Until congress sees this problem as their problem, they are going to do very little (or nothing).
Man, you guys are funny. Save yourself the stress and don’t even start worrying about it until you’re a year in adjudication for a secret or 16-24 months for a TS.

Exactly. I keep chiming in when people question timelines. I was previously cleared for DOD-Secret. Still took 24 months to get a new DOD-Secret. 2015-2017
TS can take even longer

So I take it you are still in adjudication? How long? What’s your total timeline like now?
You guys have patience of an angel. Everyone going through this process need to cultivate this.

Over a year in adjudication. A little over two years since COE. 2.5 years since applying.

I’ve submitted my SF86 in mid-2016. Still waiting for my Secret. Working in limbo along many of colleagues who have yet to recieve clearance after 1 year in the job.
