My rewnlistnebt window is opening up and I'm looking into reclassing to 35P. I meet all requirements except the one for immediate family residing outside of the US. Some of my immediate family reside in the states as green card holders, and the other live in Mexico with Mexican citizenship and 1 with us citizenship. Is this a disqualifying factor? Are there immediate family waivers? Are there 35P recruiters I can talk to? Thank you!

Everything is waver-able, wavers depend on lots of things that change regularly, can be shady, and tend to not be public. if you want it, go for it. the worst they can say is no.

No recruiters, as far as I know. I've met people in your situation who are qualified, but I can't speak as to whether what, or if that would disqualify you, but you won't know if you can make it unless you try.

go to the HRC website and look for the branch manager for 35P. When I worked in Texas there were a lot of people from Latin America and Mexico who still had extended family back home. It may lengthen the process for the security clearance since they will have to check everything

It does not matter. You just have to write a statement that says that although your relative lives in another country, that it will not affects the way you handle classified information. Me 35P cuban parent i could not confirm wherabouts or citizenship and mok resides in mexico.

Directly to your question, EVERYTHING is waiver-able, EVERYTHING. The real question is WILL they waiver this for you, and for that answer, there is a LOT of details that are not in the question. It normally breaks down to how bad they need people and how badly they want you?

Not as long as they have clean records or any security concerns. They will ask about them during your TS interview. The concerns about foreign relatives is that they will influence you in regards to maintaining TS information. They WILL be investigated. As long as they don't have any criminal or intelligence ties to Mexico, you should be okay.
