FBI Rejection Appeal Process

Hi all,

I was offered a conditional offer of employment with the FBI for a computer scientist position and my offer was rescinded because of "Personal Conduct"  that I admitted to in the past (The job required a TS/SCI with polygraph). Namely I:

1) Cheating on a g/f when I was in college
2) Tried Viagra once without a prescription (Goes back to the cheating thing while in college Smiley
3) And being "unreliable" because I might not be able to report to work on a Saturday night because I've been drinking with friends.

I passed the polygraph, no other drug usage, no finical black-marks in my past, and I currently hold a TS with the Department of Defense, and all my references came back positive from the back-round investigation

So my questions are:

1) Who do I mail an appeal letter to at the FBI
2) How long does the appeal process take
3) What is the likely hood the decision will be over-turned?

I'm pretty sure I do not want the job anymore, but I don't want my rejection to negatively impact the other career aspirations I have within the Department of Defense. I was told by a lawyer I should at least have an appeal on record as proof that I disagreed with their assment to make it easier when applying for other positions that require a security clearance

Thanks

All I can say is be prepared for beaurocratic hell and the fact that you will still be disqualified.  Contact your applicant handler if you know who that is.  Ask how to appeal.

I had a similar situation, except I was accused of countermeasures on the polygraph.   I didn't even have anything in my background that was questionable.  I hold a TS clearance with another agency. 

I appealed the decision, and the FBI did throw me a bone.  They clarified that I can say I was never denied a security clearance.  Instead I was "unsuitable" for the FBI.  In my opinion the differences are total nonsense, but I suppose it might come in handy if I ever have to fill out an SF-86 again.

LOL the funny part is I've sent my handler 2 separate emails and she has not responded to either one. So I was thinking of just sending her a letter and then sending another letter to the adjudicator who rejected my clearance

At this point I would be happy if they just said I was "unqualified" and called it a day, but I'm sure I'll have to fight for that

Usually contacting someone's boss motivates people to get stuff done.  This is the government though......

I agree, but identify that person from the outside is extremely diffcult. They only have one number and that is for the operator who then direct's your call.
