Can I assume my spouse’s security clearance is a good indicator for me being able to obtain one as well?
My spouse has held a security clearance for about 10 years (equivalent to SECRET level) throughout our relationship, and was also granted a higher-level clearance (TOP SECRET equivalent) at one point during that time. As part of those clearances, I understand I was vetted as the spouse.
Now I am in the process of obtaining a secret clearance, and want to know what I can think about my chances of getting through.
Neither of my circumstances have changed since my spouse’s clearances, such as my foreign (high risk country) relatives, however I have no real connection with those and have recently after sending my security clearance documents, mitigated contact completely with these people.
