DOE L to DOD S clearance reciprocity and timeline

Hello All,

I currently hold an active DOE L and am employed full time. I was recently offered a position (June 25) that required DOD Secret. I accepted and did the SF86 the week of July 6th. On August 11th, I was told by the company that the interm was denied, so they are actively interviewing again…

Do I wait around? How long can it take? Is there anything I can do?

I have the contact information from the Investigator that did my DOE interview, should I reach out to them and ask for assistance to push this along?
