department of defense (dod), sorry had to write out because of 20 char limit
UPDATE: I just had my interview on 1/09/2018. The interview lasted 5.5 HOURS! He said he will type up my report and send it in and that should take about 3 weeks (Hopefully by January 31st)! Next step the LONG LONG LONG road to adjudication!

Wow, long wait for an interview. You are waiting on DOD secret right? It seems that DOD has the biggest backlog, in my opinion.
I am waiting on a DOD TS/SCI.

I have to go through OPM and than adjudicated through DOD. Apparently, I cannot do anything with my INTERIM TS/SCI!
Oh wow. 5.5? Mine only took about almost 3. Did you have alot of information that required going over? I’ve heard most usually only 3 or 4. But almost 6 is insane
I have a lot of crap. My military recruiter screwed up my Original SF86 and I had to explain a lot. So there was a lot of discrepancies with my two SF86s.
5.5 hours is a bit on the long side but by no means insane. I know one guy, the investigator had to come back the next day to finish, I think it ended up being over 8 hours. But that’s the longest I’ve ever heard of.
yah…that could totally do it. Though, i commend you for filling out the SF86 twice.

To answer an earlier statement… the Subject interview is always scheduled to the listed employment - Employers that don’t know what they are doing have the recruits list the “future” job location on the questionnaire - which slows you down. Considering DC is probably the area with the largest backlog — that error alone probably added 4 to 6 months to your interview.
Next… a really, really “clean” (slang for no issues - everything filled out - no errors on the SF 86 questionnaire) Subject interview takes about 55 minutes. I have been in Subject interviews up to 8 1/2 hours, many over four hours, most are about 2 to 3 hours, I am always very happy when I walk out with ten pages or less in notes from the Subject interview… I’ve had over 70 pages (140 when you count front and back) in Subject interview notes (6 1/2 hours interview) before…
The investigator said it would take him three weeks to write out my report. Do you know how long adjudication is taking?
Adjudication can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years. It’s a guessing game.

I just hope my senator can press DOD on adjudication. I am guessing that will be a no but I can always wonder!

My update: Received a privacy form from my congressman and sent a FedEx with all of my details (SSN, case #, opening date, etc). He received it on January 11. Investigation was completed and sent for adjudication on January 24 (Mr. Phalen himself sent a letter that was scanned to me). My clearance was adjudicated on February 7 (I had requested a copy of my investigation which I received on February 9 and checked JPAS to see it had indeed closed). Hallelujah!

Yep… was it just sitting on the investigator’s desk being counted as part of the backlog…?
