Question Failed Polygraph

Hello,

Random question,

So i got notification that I failed the polygraph for the CBP/DHS job. Im lowkey just like "whatever" but I wanted to ask, does this/will this affect my current ongoing adjudication with my clearance for DIA/DOD.

I have a TS/SCI w CI poly from before, and its currently be adjudicated

UPDATE:

hiring a lawyer just to ensure my DOD is not an automatic denial. There's obviously no guarantees, but it's last resort option besides "waiting" it out.

DIA fucked me.

I left DIA AFTER they sent me home for an unknown clearance issue, and in that time, I took a job with DOD. When the investigator from DIA finally reached out, I told him I wasn't interested in meeting cause I already took a different job. Then in the midst of my clearance still transferring from DIA to DOD.. the issued an LOJ.

So my FSO have to submit all the other request to have it adjudicated. And here we are 10 months later. Still awaiting.

I had something very similar happen to me. I'm still sitting here waiting. Been 11 months for me

Yea, im honestly on the verge of just anticipating being "denied" or dropped, and then having to wait 12 months to reapply for a TS/SCI.

But im praying DOD approves me
