I went through a real difficult time, after I lost my parents, but I was brutally honest, and was regranted my TS. I was even afraid of going for my CIA clearance, even though the issues were resolved, but I am sure that honesty played a big part. Can I ask you, who would be granted your clearance (I am not aware of any organizations granting clearances, outside of a US government agency).

What exactly do you mean by serious? I am definitely going to be honest with them if the topic of any previous processing comes up.

there shouldn't be any problem getting a Secret
clearance. Whether you are asked, or not, I would
mention any security clearance processing, that you
have done before - if you are not totally honest with
the investigator, and they find out, they will get you on,
"Personal Conduct", and then you are scwewed,
forever. Believe me, it really makes a huge difference,
if they see, that you are a completely honest person.

- Jul 07, 2006, 04:32 AMHi all,
A couple of questions. I was recently deemed unsuitable for employment at CIA. I received my letter after only having filled out, sent in, and had a phone conversation with a representative about my SF-86. No polygraph, no nothing beyond filling out the form and having the phone interview.
I am now interviewing for a position that will require a Secret clearance. My question is, if the interview for the new position goes well and they decide to move forward on the Secret clearance, will my previous SF-86 be in play even though I never had a polygraph or anything? Having only filled out an SF-86, will I register on any of the databases used for a Secret clearance background checks? Also, how difficult is the process of getting a Secret clearance as opposed to a Top Secret clearance (somewhat of a modification of a previous question I posted...and thanks for the responses to that!)? Obviously, having already been bounced once, I know I run the chance of that happening again, but this is not a Federal agency so the process may be different. Anyways, any responses would be much appreciated.
