@Deza, oh ok, gotcha. 
So it looks like Iâm in the same boat as many on here. Getting ready to hit 2 years in June since my BI was initiated, and 3 years in July since I applied. My timeline is:
Applied - July 2016
Aptitude Test - August 2016
Interview/Info Session - November 2016
CJO/SF86 - January 2017
Medical/Psych/Poly - May 2017
BI Submitted by Investigator - July 2017
Last contact with PO: April 2019 Still âactively processing.â
Iâm beginning to think that Iâm going to be due for a 5-year re-investigation before this process ends. As far as issues, I really have none. My creditâs excellent. No foreign contacts. No arrests. I have a current SSBI (non-clearance) with DHS. I really canât imagine why itâs taking this long to adjudicate. Fingers are still crossed and Iâm still hopeful, though.
Youâre not approaching three years, you are just past two years. Nothing that came before your SF86 in January 2017 can be attributed to security processing. But, if you have been told that you have been in adjudication since July 2017, somebody needs to push some buttons. Get in touch with your congressman/senators and have them inquire as what is going on. Sometimes it just takes a bump to get things moving.

How long is âtoo longâ and when you should try your senators? 2 years since it goes into adjudication?
yea the CIA just doesnât care at all and they move at a snailâs pace no matter what. very frustrating. and contacting the POC gives the cookie cutter âstill actively processingâ response. their process is completely shielded

Same boat here too. doesnât look like you should expect to start for at least 3 years from CJO depending on the organization.
This IC agency isnât the only federal agency taking itâs time, though. I applied for the SA position with HSI the same month I applied for this agency (July '16), and after completing everything, Iâm still waiting for HSI also.
Which, interestingly enough, brings up another question concerning what happened with my security processing for HSI. The HSI SA position requires a TS clearance. I currently work for CBP where I have only a public trust SSBI with no clearance. I applied to HSI with several coworkers and when we reached the security processing phase, they all received E-Qip invites to start the process for their TS clearance. However, I didnât receive one, so I called the HSI security office to see what my status was for security processing. They told me that they had accepted my current SSBI of Jul. '17, and I would be granted a TS clearance once I was hired on. The interesting thing is the Jul. '17 SSBI is the one that was started by the IC agency that Iâm currently processing with, and not my CBP SSBI which was from Nov. â15. None of my other coworkersâ CBP SSBIs were accepted and they all had to redo their BI. So my question would be, how did my SSBI thatâs being processed for this IC agency show up in the system when HSI checked for it if it isnât adjudicated? And if it has been adjudicated, what the hell am I still waiting for?
37wks into my processing. Applied 09/18, submitted my SF86 12/18.
Poly and Psych completed end of April. Havenât heard from my investigator yet, and starting to get a little antsy. Everyone else with a similar timeline seems to have worked in reverse, knocking their BI out first, and then going through the poly/psych portions.
I know I am being impatient, I just donât want my case to fall through the cracks.

You are NOT 37 weeks into your processing. Your SF86 was submitted in December. Start counting there. Itâs pretty early to start thinking about having fallen through any cracks.

62 weeks since submission of my SF-86.
Psych done in February 19 and Poly done in March 19⌠still NO subject interview. And as of NOW, references NOT contacted.
Iâm slowly creeping up on 100 weeks since submission of my SF-86. I think I got the crack filled so you donât have to worry about falling into it haha. Itâs not great but at least you still know there is a step to complete. Even though I was told I should hear something soon I donât really count on it. I am pretty sure I remember hearing that phrase last year around this time.

You are right, that was definitely an oversight. 22 weeks of processing on my end then, which does make me feel a bit better.
I believe the other agency I am waiting on is the same one you are waiting for. From everything I have seen, that is a normal wait. I remember being told 3 years of waiting is normal so I havenât even bothered checking into it. I do get much more contact from that agency saying I am still processing though.
Itâs been ~830 days since my SF-86 submission. Crazy.
Nothing else to add - loving my new job unrelated to the one Iâm waiting on - glad I took it. Still getting the âactively processingâ response when I check in every month or two.

Did you also apply to agency in VA? That one has long wait and you never really know when someone gets FJO for it. I am thinking of dropping out of that process if I actually hear something within a month from MD agency. I am pretty sure if I tell them that I received clearance through different agency that it wouldnât change anything.

Have you done the BI, Poly and Psych already also?
I have done everything. Poly and Psych were done around 11/2017 and investigator for background check was done around 03/2018.
I was told by MD agency poly is good for 2 years so if I end up passing that I am dropping out. Not wasting any more vacation days on this process.
Yep.
Kind of crazy to think I applied in late 2016. So much has changed
