Trying to reclass to 35L but my parents are Korean citizens with permanent resident card living in US. They or myself have never been out of United States last 15 years. My wife is Japanese national currently waiting for her permanent resident card. It sounds like a long shot for me with all those foreign ties, however I already got SSBI T5 favorable, I dont necessarily know how it affects onto the TS investigation though.. Other than it, I am clean.

You don't need your TS to apply to 35L. Noone on here can tell you if you'll be accepted to 35L, it's an application MOS. So get onto the IKN recruiting site and ask a 35L Recruiter, the only person who can answer your questions and stop your packet. Before you say, "I'm doing research" you're not because Noone on here is the subject matter expert so anything anyone says here is speculation. I've put about a dozen CI agents into the field. You need to ask this stuff to the CI Recruiter and the CI Propenent

IKN provides the latest information, yes. However, he can contact an ACI field office which would actually be the first step for someone already in the Army.

The rules change often, but seeing as none of them are from countries of concern, I don't forsee a problem. Depending on the current rules, your wife may need to get a U.S. citizenship, but not necessarily.

CW3 (Join to see) Shouldn't be a problem. Didn't effect either my son or I (my wife is a foreign national) The investigation can take a bit longer.

It's possible but this is something you will need to work through with your S-2/G-2 offices to get done correctly. Nobody here will be able to give better information than them.
