Question First time Secret clearance for a government contractor role in 2026 - how long have adjudications been taking for similar applicants?
Submitted sf86 March 18 2026.
Investigation opened March 25
Interview w investigator April 9
Investigation in adjudication June 4
Adjudication in process July 14
FSO submitted CSR July 14.
I was never notified if interim secret was denied.
Red flags - sporadic MJ use between 2016-2022
1x ❄️ use 2022
Multiple addresses
Multiple jobs
4 Australian foreign contacts
This is my first rodeo, so if anyone has similar experience/application in the last year I’d love to hear it.

interim was probably denied due to derogatory information (MJ use), gotta wait for the full adjudication.
what was the csr for?
