Yes its him that is being reviewed, he has to gain a higher level of clearance due to a change in his job. You could say it is routine, because even if he maintained the clearance he has now, I would assume at some point it would need to be updated and reviewed. He first asked his supervisors about it, almost 2 years ago and they told him he may have to get a letter of permission, but his commander did not write one as he believed it was not needed. He is active duty AF.

Hopefully Carla will see your post and comment, Minnew. Her husband went through a terrible time with security clearances. They weren't even going to let him marry her!

Carla!

I have heard that if you are a contractor it takes alot longer to get the clearance and they are more stringent with the requirements. I guess if there is any issues, he will be taking it up with his supervisors and commander, with hope that it can get sorted out. Before we were engaged and talking about marriage he spoke with his commander to be sure marrying a "foreign national" would not cause any issues with his job. He was told it would not. At least I hope not.

Well, my husband wasn't a contractor, but his security clearance was such that we had to have their written permission before we could even start this visa process. Perhaps because he wasn't a contractor? The clearance had to come from "others", I can't say who and didn't involve DHS as far as I know. I would suggest though that this is something different as it wasn't my husbands security clearance that was the issue, it was MINE, that's why we had to go through a process, almost two years, before I could be cleared. Are you sure it's HIM that's having to go through clearance? If it is him, then it's something routine, and is not like our situation at all and I'm sure you'll be good to go!

interesting - i didn't have to get written permission from anyone prior to marrying nessa. what branch of the military does he work for? if air force, that might be why, as they are sticklers for rules and regulations.

Who are you directing this question to charles?

you

If he was maintaining a Clearance at a relatively high level - they pretty want to know when you breathed in and then out again from what I understand

My husband had a security clearance from when he was in the Navy, but it came in handy for his current occupation (he's a GIS Analyst).

In the Fall of 2007 his current employer wanted him to get a higher security clearance...we thought it was going to take forever because of me, and because a friend of his took 2 years to get hers, and she didn't have ties to a foreign national. Hubby did all of the paperwork, and got a temp TS clearance in a few weeks! The company doing the investigation came and spoke to me, asked about 100 questions, left, never called my family (only a few of his) and within 6 months had the full clearance.

We've been lucky with all of the immigration and clearance stuff...no one in the world has my name, so I fly through backround checks!

If he has a high enough security clearance, one should NOT be talking about it online!!

I'm going for some dental surgery today. I can't believe the horrible luck I've had with my teeth here since moving to the US. I'd like to blame the HFCS, however I don't eat it (that I know of anyway!). I'm having two gum grafts today and 4 teeth pulled for preparation of a partial plate. I'll be out of commission as far as talking and eating anything other than pudding for several days.

Have a lovely day!

awwww Hope you're feeling better soon!! Pudding sounds good though!

Cool. I have something in common then! I enjoy coffee every morning too!!

One truly knows very little about people on here/internet. What i find amusing is that some (not saying here,lol) are always worried about big brother watching, yet post so much personal info on the internet,lol

Back from RI! Drive back took a bit longer than going up! Damn you Connecticut!! Was soooo slow!! Time to clean up the place! 2 cats can leave a lot of hair around!!

they do want to know about any foreign contacts though. i reported all of my contact with nessa, my trips, and so on. never had to obtain any "permission"

Yes! Loose lips sink ships!

Now just think how bad you'd feel if a ship is sunk tomorrow. It would be....

I have an interview date for citizenship! August 13 at 1:05 pm. I don't know if I will be able to do same day oath or not - apparently either the oath ceremonies take place at 2 pm or the cut off for the oath ceremonies is at 2 pm and the ceremony at 3 - don't remember which. Regardless, now I feel like I am moving forward again.
