Hello everyone ! Decided to share my timeline as someone who already have a clearance with the agency

I applied about last year then applied again to multiple jobs in jan 2019

I was contacted and scheduled for a phone interview in feb 19

Someone from HR called me and told me to expect a COD by email March 19

I asked for a higher offer march 19
Got better offer early april 19
Took psych test and eval May 19
Got FJO June 19
EOD July 19

You have to pull your complete credit report. My credit got pulled twice -- once when they started processing my SF86, and then another time on the day that I met the investigator (which was a few months later).

Turns out they checked on 6/27, so right after I submitted it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

308 days since I applied for the position, and 200 days since I have submitted my SF86.

Currently in that "holding" phase. Haven't heard from an investigator, and still getting cut and paste "You should hear something in 3 to 5 months" emails from my (albeit wonderful) recruiter.

Holding out on bugging anyone until 255days. Seems like a reasonable amount of silence before asking questions again.

They should send an email with details if it’s poly psych.
Was it a scheduler or your BI?

Just trying to keep my timeline in rotation, nothing new really:

Somewhere in here also (in May/June) is my recruiter telling me 4 to 5 months minimum to hear something from her.

Hi everyone,

I Earlier posted my timeline stating I had been scheduled for poly and psych eval. Has anyone failed the 1st poly from a false positive and passed the second one answering the same? I took 1st poly and apparently I was found to be lying on 2 questions when I was answering honestly.
My main question is however, when you took you second poly, do you redo the entire poly (both counterintelligence and lifestyle) or just the one you had issues with?

Thanks

The best story I've heard was the guy who went home after the poly and his wife asked him, how was it?

He said, "YOUR HUSBAND'S A DRUG DEALER AND I NEVER KNEW IT!!!"

Just got done 2nd poly (Passed).
In others experience, how long after poly have you learned out your adjudication decision?

Thanks
