First time going through the clearance process. 2 weeks ago I went to the agency’s HQ for urinalysis, polygraph and fingerprinting. Just got a call from the lab doing the drug screen that they have listed my urinalysis as “canceled”. Something about the specific gravity being out of range. He said it’s not a negative thing and happens often when folks drink too much water and dilute their sample (they gave us a bottle at testing which I downed). He seemed to imply this happens all the time but now I’m worried it will reflect negatively. But to add to that, the two offices of the agency are both a good distance from me. I wonder if retesting for just urinalysis if they can use a local lab. Has anyone had this issue that can give some insight?
Cant comment on that exact situation but if your processing takes more than a year they’ll probably want another pee-test anyway.
Some agencies do use local providers, so maybe they will do that in this case. Time will tell!
