Hi All, My first post. My situation; I previously hold a s secret clearance (granted interim 6/2015, granted secret 8/2015. DOD Contractor) but due to family circumstances, I took some time off from the workforce for over 24 months . Unfortunately, I was not aware at that time clearances will lapse once over 24 months. Now, fast forward to 2019, last Oct 2019 , a DOD contractor contacted me and ask if I’m interested in a open position with them . I told the HR person , yes. Without any contingent offer signed , the company started an investigation. Completed/certify eqip: 10/18/19 Fingerprint competed: 10/29/2019 All paperwork submitted According to FSO: 10/29/2019 10/29/2019 Last time I had communication with the FSO. He said he will let me know once he know something regarding my interim secret(if and when) which he said takes about two weeks. 12/02/2019 Contacted DCSA regarding the investigation. They received my finger print but they have not received the pertaining paperwork(eqip). 11/25/2109, 12/06/2019 e mailed HR, FSO seeking updates about the job/clearance -No response. Should I just forget about this and move one or am I prematurely worried about the processing of clearance which may take several months? Thanks! ---

Sounds like HR and the FSO gave up on you. That is terrible when it happen. I think they owe you a reply and maybe say "do not contact us for more info earlier than 30 more days. Fair enough. But going unresponsive is just bad form. ---

Pick up the phone and call. Emails are easy to ignore. ---

Finally received an email form the HR, reads “There was an issue with processing your clearance and we are no longer continuing the investigation” What the heck, what issue I wonder? Lived in the same house for 10 years and we own it, no criminal record, DUI, traffic tickets. Credit history/score is spotless. The only issue I was thinking is perhaps my overseas travel with family for tourism purpose 2016-2019 travel all around Asia( HK, Macau, Singapore, Philippines, South Korea) ---

I’m guessing the position was no longer available or they had a guy already cleared or crossed one over fast and did not want to wait. Personally, I believe that should be explained to you. ---

A recruiter sent me my clearance status on JPAS for my reference. She said it’s still valid/active, is she correct ? “PSI Adjudication of NACLC OPM, Opened [2015 06 17] Closed [2015 08 26], determined Eligibility of Secret on [2015 09 02) DOD CAF Interim Adjudication of , Opened , , determined Eligibility of Interim Secret on [2015 06 01) DOD CAF” Thanks
