[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently a Fed and accepted an offer with another agency. Slated to start in December, the agencies’ HR departments are already talking to each other.

I’ve got a Public Trust clearance with my current position; I had to fill out SF85P again, as it’s been a decade.

How long does this process usually take? Will they want an interview, or do they usually skip that for a current Fed?

I’d really like to start my new job before year end, so I’m hoping this doesn’t get hung up. It’s not clear to me how long the process is taking these days and the onboarding agency couldn’t tell me much about timing. Stuff was approved by the agency and sent to the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) for final approval.[/quote]

You might want to ask the HR point of contact you're working with for the new job (whoever sent you the offer letter).  When I transferred internally within an agency it took months, oddly, with no background investigation difference. The internal badging/security people were just slow.

When I transferred outside to another agency, I had to fill the paperwork again but they did the deeper dive when I was already on board. [/quote]
