Hello, I’m not sure if this’ll come up but about a few years ago, an overseas relative transferred about a little over 10k USD to me as a gift. Is this going to come up during the investigation so I can prepare to explain (possible foreign influence)? Otherwise I have no other financial issues, never missed a payment, no debt or collections. Thx!
EDIT: Oh this is for PT? Then no.
Yes. They will catch transfers that large. You should disclose and explain on the SF-86.
If you are undergoing a Tier 1 on an SF85 it is not a question you will be asked on the form and you will not be interviewed. It is not an issue.
Appreciate the responses. If for some reason credit is pulled, will it show up and I’ll still get questions? Or is credit not pulled at all unless you’ve indicated you have some kind of financial issue?
Credit is pulled only if you have indicated you have federal tax debts, and it would not show up on a credit report. It would only show up on a Continuous Evaluation check through FinCen, which Tier 1s are not subject to.
