[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the replies.  Good to know this is all normal.  I'm a teacher so they are not coming to school.  I live alone so I don't want them in my home.  I've never gone through this process before so I was just a bit curious about it.[/quote]

I was in a similar situation a couple of months ago and the investigator did come to school. It was urgent--there had been some bureaucratic snafu and they needed to interview me immediately because the file was due right then and there. My principal was very understanding and just had someone cover for me while I answered the agent's questions in a conference room. It was about 20 minutes of going through my history with the person, what kind of contacts we had, if I knew about money problems or illegal activities, what she had told me about herself, etc. Not a big deal at all. How long the questions go and how detailed they are depends on what kind of clearance the person is applying for--I had done one of these interviews previously for an old roommate and she must have been getting a lower level clearance because this last time went much more in depth and as was about twice as long. But they may or may not tell you that.

Both times the agent showed me a federal badge and allowed me to inspect it. If they don't do this, ask.[/quote]
