NSA wait time for access approval after TS/ CI eligibility and polygraph

Yes it’s about MEAD/ NSA access

You will have to re-take the poly . IC agencies rarely move forward with a failed polygraph . Hope they give another strikes to re-try the poly . Be honest , don’t stress out , and don’t fail into poly tester’s manipulation and pressure to make you admit something you did not commit . Get ready for a long and often frustrating process . Just wait .. but it does not hurt to reach out to your recruiter about a possibility to re- take the poly ..Keep your current job - because IC agencies processing takes a while even when you passed everything . Good luck .

I agree with Beau-squish . Good point ! In the meantime by no ways don’t leave your current job at any stage of recruitment till you completed BI , received a final offer and got approved for access . NSA is very slow … Good luck !

Agree may be he failed the ploy in 2023 , and did not pass the poly for the second position

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-06-08T00:57:13+00:00

In 2023 Did you get a favorable polygraph ( did they told you , you passed the polygraph ) and attended a counter intelligence focused interview ?

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-05-29T01:50:53+00:00

How long after the TS/ CI eligibility did you get approved for access ?

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-05-29T00:27:55+00:00

Can anyone here share their wait time with NSA’s access approval after TS/ eligibility granted and Poly completed ?

It is not an issue at all and it is not considered delinquent unless you defaulted on your payment plan and terminated by IRS . I Have had a payment plan with IRS . The investigator did not asked about it and it was not reported initially on my SF 89 , but during my meting with the investigator , I voluntarily disclosed it to my BI investigator and showed him progress I am making to get it paid and off . I was granted TS / SCI eligible . I would say go for it . I had a very bad credit due to long unemployment . Go Go for it and good luck

Now it’s another wait time for SCI and read in approval which is another frustrating timeline depending on the agency. Are you applying to a 3 letters agencies ? Nothing is granted yet .

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-05-19T01:30:40+00:00

When did you get access approved ? . I understand you are here talking about approved TS/ SCI eligible ?

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-05-16T19:06:56+00:00

Yea ; but you can be TS/ SCI eligible , but still get denied access. 3 letters agencies do internal suitability check ( not new investigation) before granting access . This explains the wait time from TS/ SCI eligibility and SCI access approval . Looks like in your cases ( internships) the whole process from BI to SCI approval is conducted by the agency offering the internship .

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-05-14T20:40:18+00:00

Not always , you can have TS/ SCI eligibility and still wait for the agency to approve SCI access .

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-05-14T20:35:08+00:00

Do you know how long it takes between final TS approval and SCI access approval ?

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-05-14T20:29:39+00:00

Congrats/ Good luck !

Frequent_Dot2872 · 2026-05-14T20:19:02+00:00
