[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a TS/SCI with CI Poly.  (so no questions about drug use).  I have disclosed issues that, if I hid, would be a huge issue:  1) my father gave classified info to a foreign gov't years ago; 2) A third cousin (who I saw once when he was 4) is now #3 in a foreign gov't.

OP here. Thanks everyone for your input and of course welcome more experiences. To this PP, they didn't ask you about drug use at all? That's really my only concern. My MIL is a foreign national with a green card who lives with us, which has resulted in a "red flag" on DH's TS/SCI clearance but it didn't prevent him from getting it. I think he is uncertain but optimistic about whether I can pass given my drug history.

Do any of you think part of the arbitrarty nature is how bad they want you for the role? I know in this case the agency director and deputy director both want me onboard. Hoping that may carry some weight in the process I guess. [/quote]

Disclose as they will grill you on the polly.  Part of it is being truthful and if you fail your poly that's a huge.  Gov't has been very helpful with our foreign family.  We just report and always get approved.  The initial part is hard, but after that its fine.  They just want to make sure the relatives are not going to take classified information back to their country or you/they are not a spy.[/quote]
