Counting DAYS to help prevent INSANITY!

Dude, 222 days is pretty good! Good luck to you! you going for your TS?

Nope. Sadly, only for Secret and for a DoD contractor.

My DOD secret for contracting took 700+ days :slight_smile:

I hear some secret clearances getting approved within 6 months. I know you are over that limit. You could always try your senator or your house rep.

I tried. Received the expedited letter, which led to subject interview soon after. Then, investigation is hung up ‘waiting for 3rd party record’ since all the reference interviews was done back in Nov 17.

I feel ya! I had my expedited letter on December 26, 2017. I had two investigators contact me. I finally met with my investigator on January 9, 2018. Now I am just waiting!

So somebody help on this if you are an investigator. I still try to wrap my head around what this ONE third-party records provider is that is hanging up my pending investigation. The caseworker (assuming OPM) told my congressman rep, who reached out to obtain the status for me on my case, that they have makes multiple attempts to follow up this record provider … Are they going to wait on this forever?! I have been told pending on third-party record since January … and it is April now … I start going insane with who and what is this specific third-party record provider.

Will contact my investigator, who interviewed me, help? Can she/he tell what records are they waiting for?

You are still stuck in pending investigation because of third party record? Why dont you contact and see who is the third party and get the record by yourself and give it to them.

Don’t try to apply logic to this process. Besides they probably have to receive it through certain channels.

I’ve often wondered how much of a priority agencies give to these requests. You’d think they’d act fairly quickly since it is more than likely they’ll need the favor returned at some point. But clearly time is not a major factor in this process.

Thought that I would do a check-in. Have anyone go insanity to reality yet? :slight_smile:

I am at 470 days/15.5 months for a TS/SCI - IC non-contractor. Nothing new. booooo.

Does non-contractor mean that you are directly with an agency? That’s crazy long.

Yeah direct hire by agency. What is the typical timeline?

Geez, I wish to hell I knew. I assumed that direct agency hire would move quicker. I know one person who got cleared for TSI/SCI poly in a swift 4 months, two years ago. What a dream. Do you reach out to your recruiter from time to time?

I would rather use the FOIA hotline rather the recruiter since you would want to bother the recruiter all the time (maybe every 3 months!?).

Would the FOIA hotline be helpful if it’s not NBIB (but with an agency doing its own investigation?)

No. NBIB FOIA hotline will only be able to answer in regards to their own agency investigations.

I wonder if it has been a month since I spoke with my NBIB BI and he/she has submitted the information he/she collected up to the reviewer. Can I follow up with the BI to see where it as or would he/she be able to find out any helpful information? (not sure if NBIB BI has different access then contract BI)

I think once it moves up the chain the person below can’t really inquire about it. I had about 6 months of radio silence before I heard anything.
