What is required to get your interim clearance granted by your local command? We were told you need your National Background Check to clear 1st and that could take 1-2 years. My husband needs it to schedule school for his new job, however our DEROS and ETS date are about 5 months away. And his acceptance letter for his new mos is only good for 1 year. So how do you obtain an Interim Clearance quicker than 1-2 years?

Interim TS clearances takes around 45 days. Your NAC has to show in JPAS before the interim TS can be granted.

I had this happen with a 35L applicant in Japan. We contacted the branch manager and he had to extend his DEROS several times and request the branch manager to take him off his assignment. If your spouse is 5 months from DEROS they should already be on assignment.

They used to be able to offer a temp. Clearance, Let the school/command work it out.

OPM will not even open an investigation if you have less then one year of service left.
