Interim granted!  
Super happy I got my interim granted. US born, went to college abroad and spent 7 years outside USA and just returned Feb 2020. Weed use about 10 times with last use 2018.  
No crime or credit issues. Listed 4 frloreign contacts.

EQIP and fingeeprints submitted May 7 and got clearance today one week later. Super fast.

Hi VirileDOD,

Nice to hear that your interim was granted. Do you mind me asking for what position and department? How long was your process?

Thanks!

Congrats! I was in the same boat as you (much worse though, dui and weed/ecstacy). Good on you for being transparent and listing your drug use! Continue to do great things my fellow software engineer.

Best of luck to you in the future.
