After 5 weeks of waiting since my OA, my file has officially been opened with Diplomatic Security. I'm not entirely sure what this means, or what they were doing before- you would think simply opening a file could be done immediately upon learning there's someone who will need to be investigate- but I'm glad to see some movement on that front. I was given a "target completing date" of 12/27/10, which is standard DS process: 60 days from opening the file. My scientific and thorough research of yahoo groups have led be to conclude that the chances of actually meeting this target date are incredibly slim, but at least I know that in the next couple months they will be finally working on my case.
I'm still waiting to be contacted for the first interview. Hopefully this will happen sometime in the next week or two.
I just learned that two friends of mine will be starting A-100 in January, and I'm super excited and jealous. It's fabulous to see them moving on to this stage, and both of them took about 8/9 months from OA to A-100. If I could meet that timetable I would be stoked!
So keep fingers crossed that I get a speedy clearance and follow in their footsteps!
