Been browsing here on and off. I did my poly end of may. I had a pretty cool examiner, he told me I passed and and he actually notify me when I passed the QC guys. Everything was smooth until I checked the dashboard and I was still stuck on medical. Anyway, I thought it was just admin stuff, turns out FAMS medical sent me some paperwork and it got lost in the mail. I finally reconnected with them and getting the medical issue resolved. So, my question is, how long has the TS clearance process taken. I saw for some of the other agencies, that it can be up to six months plus. On here, it seems like people are getting by pretty quick. I'm still hold a secrect clearance through the military and currently a federal employee if that's does anything to the process.

the exact same thing happend to me!!! i had a star over medical 5 weeks after my poly. unfortunatly that means your paperwork is stalled somewere and i ended up getting denied. the background for this position doesnt take more than 2-3 weeks because you go to the academy with an interim clearance.

Doesn't matter.

DHS/TSA/FAMS do their own background checks no matter what you already have in place.

Silly? Yeap. But it is what it is.

Well folks, I am out too due to me "manipulating my physiology" in regards to a question on something that I never even had exposure to, let alone within the same vicinity as far as I know, in my entire life.

For those wondering about the timeline, poly was on 7/1 (last step for me). Rejection letter arrived today.

Welcome to the club. The club of over qualified candidates that were told we werent good enough because of a computer. Sick!

[CriticalOperator]

It could possibly be an issue

Fully expecting my rejection soon. I was told my "breathing wasn't normal" and had a high heart rate during it.

How many times did you take poly? I'm sorry this happened to you.
