A TS/SCI level takes upwards to a year or more as they go out and interview people. Usually contractors will fire you or tell you you're on your own but very rarely lets you work at their company.There are plenty of people who will pass the interim or reactivate their old clearance, even for a TS/SCI case. | |

If you're applying for a secret, your employer probably expects you to get an interim clearance. If you need SCI, your employer has probably already resigned themselves to waiting for the final adjudication (it's rare to get interim access to SCI material). | |
