I’ve got a weird situation and I would appreciate any help. A year and a half ago my clearance was suspended (not revoked so no SOR or appeal) because of a CIA SCI denial. I explained everything and my current security office has been fighting to get me reinstated. But, the DCSA Centralized Adjudication Services (CAS) is refusing to review my suspension until I provide a document stating that I don’t have an active appeal with the CIA. My office has been unsuccessful in finding any contact information for the CIA Security, my lawyer hasn’t gotten a response. I also asked my Congressional Representative and Senator for help. But nothing…
Has anyone else encountered this? My security office doesn’t know what to do and I’m out of ideas…I’d really appreciate any insight into this situation. Is the CAS allowed to refuse addressing my case forever if I can’t get this document they want? My office asked the CAS for help in reaching out to the CIA and they said they can’t.
Thanks in advance.
Did they tell you from whom they need the statement to come? If not, maybe all they need is for you to draft and sign a document yourself indicating your case is not under active appeal. Perhaps they are trying to protect themselves from you later alleging impropriety fell by their office against knowingly against you while you had a case under appeal.
You might consider drafting a letter/memo yourself stating you do not have a case under active appeal and sign it before a notary. All you have to lose with this approach is your time and perhaps the nominal fee charged by the notary, and many banks will notarize documents for their customers without charge.
If you go this route, you could consider language indicating to the best of your knowledge there isn’t an active appeal, that you haven’t initiated an appeal, and you have not been notified of an appeal being being initiated by any other person, organization, or agency.
Yes, they specifically said it had to come from the CIA.
