I know what you mean dao. I don't speak a 'target' language but have spent a lot of time living abroad in Europe and studying those languages, which is what they want me for (presumably). But it's that experience that makes my application slower than grass growing.
But I suppose it makes sense in the long run. But can't they just give me the benefit of the doubt? ;) |

I've spent considerable time abroad too, and believe they do look at that as an asset. However, n terms of the TS/SCI clearance process, they do say they prefer you to have been in (returned to) the US for a majority fo the last seven years so that they can do the BI. I understand it, but at the same time they want people with overseas expeience and it takes longer to do the BI. Like you say visitor99, it'll be worth it in the long run. I was told however that this timeline is flexible and it really depends on WHERE you were and what you were doing.
