I was told these "searches" went back for 7 yrs only......(for a standard security clearance...not "top")??? At least, that is what they told me at FSH security office.....

I read that they go back 15 years or to the age of 18 whichever is first.

I just had my interview for my security clearance a couple of weeks ago. I met the agent at a library on a college campus and it was about my credit. He had a copy of my credit report and we went through each one step by step. I dont expect to hear from him again and he stated that the reason for my faults would be d/t raising kids in a single income household. This interview he stated was to assess whether I was a risk for potential attempts by enemy forces to bribe me. As I stated to him, "I've lost my home, my car....everything trying to do the right thing... I am not a risk I have nothing for them to try to bribe me about".

Anyway, good luck and let me know how it goes!

I also had one of these interviews and i never met with the interviewer again. We actually sat back and chatted after we went through my credit report about what college her daughter was going to as I was encouraging her to my alma mater. They went through my credit asked about any thing that was late or that I didn't know about.

Do they look into every aspect of our lives with these security clearances? What are the biggies?

I filed bankruptcy about a year ago.

apparently there are alot of middle age single moms that have similar issues. I know of several going through the same thing.

I have a couple dings on my record and I never got a call about anything. In fact, I found out I commissioned before my clearance came back!

Of course, I still have a current ENTNAC from when I was a civilian employee in 2002 - they're good for ten years. My guess is they went back no farther than that, since it only took sixty-seven days for my clearance to come back.

What branch is doing all these call backs? (Unless they looked at me and said, she's already been a sucker once, just let her back in? LOL)
