How do I get my clearance back after a denial? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-do-i-get-my-clearance-back-after-a-denial <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I received an SCI denial from an IC agency while working for a contracting firm. No word yet on whether or not I still have my TS or what&#39;s going to happen to it. I&#39;ve went through the whole appeal process, responding to the SOR, and doing the access appeals panel both with a lawyer.<br /><br />I was denied after voluntarily admitting to illegal downloading during a polygraph. Is there anything I can do? My SSBI five year mark will be February 2019. I&#39;m in the IRR right now.<br /><br />I&#39;ve considered talking to the HRC Security team, but I&#39;m worried that if HRC sees a denial they&#39;ll instantly kick me out of IRR without helping.<br /><br />Any advice?

There may be other options for you to pursue that I didn&#39;t think of though. Best of luck to you.

I have a friend make admissions during a polygraph and he lost his clearance. MSG Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 14 Nov 2018 21:16:44 -0500 2018-11-14T21:16:44-05:00 2018-11-13T00:11:13-05:00
