Heads up: Received an email that the current DA process has been revised. There is now a background check added into the lengthy time frame, especially for RC officers. I am told that this delay is 6-9 months and affects all officers and all components.

Don't know if this is connected or not, but thought I'd share since this thread mostly seems to consist of "dunno...just heard it."

I just had my 5-year PR interview for renewal of a TS clearance I've held since 1988. Total of 3.5 hour interview. I've never had one last more than 30 minutes prior to this. Granted, I had a divorce during this period so it was "bigger" than usual, but...damn.

The investigator shared that OPM has implemented almost draconian procedures in response to finding out at least one of their contract investigation companies was "going through the motions" in conducting investigations. Hence, they are re-doing a vast number of them and, from now on, the rigor of the investigation is as important as what they find in determining whether a clearance is granted. If OPM rates the rigor as unacceptable, my investigator shared that her company fines them...so, she is extremely motivated to be thorough. She literally read every word of the questionnaire back to me to re-ask the question - including one place where I had a typo in my name - asked if that was a name I regularly used, ISYN.

Again, no idea if these are connected or not and I'm obviously a civilian vice AD.

I'm awaiting FEDREC for CPT, and have been eligible since JUN 15. I'm at 150 days presently, according the G-1 Gateway website. I've noticed that my # of day status line color has changed from Green to Yellow. Does anyone know what this means, or is that standard for everyone at a certain point?

Anyone have any more updates on this? On average, how long are you sitting on the scroll?
