[quote=Anonymous]To the immediate PP - there's no violation in discussing the status of your clearance, so the OP doesn't have to worry about asking for advice.

To the OP - my experience is very similar to yours in certain key details. My only piece of advice is that the family ties seem to be the biggest issue - they were far more interested in my elderly inlaws who are long-time citizens than in my own travel to various "Axis of Evil" states. I don't know if this sensitivity correlates to actual security risks or if it is just the default approach, but I've seen it in many cases involving immigrants from the Middle East or their spouses - even individuals who served in the US military, who required very senior level interventions to move the process along.

Note that the likelihood of receiving a final clearance will depend on what agency your husband is applying to. Even a very high level clearance at State is easier to get than one for various intelligence agencies.

To the other PP - I've generally heard that as long as any problems with alcohol / drug use are well in the past - and as long as you are totally honest about them - you're likely okay, but it probably depends on the agency and the situation.
