How difficult is it to get a Clearance if you were born in Cuba (or any other non-NATO country/ally) but moved to the USA when you were a kid? I’m a USA Citizen, and from my understanding, I can’t give up my Cuban citizenship by Cuban law -___-

Do you still have a lot of family there? Do you visit? Have you traveled on the Cuban passport? Do you have any investments there?

If yes to any of these, it’s going to be hard to get Secret and above.

- All of my immediate family has moved out of Cuba by now
- I traveled with the Cuban passport before I came to the USA. Haven’t used it since I got here. (It’s also expired)
- No investments!

You are giving me the Hopium I need

You can still renounce your cuban citizenship even if it is a violation of Cuban law if you want. You'll need to talk to USCIS and/or an embassy, and will likely never be able to go to Cuba again if you do so, but it is possible

It used to be that you couldn’t have a secret clearance and be a citizen or passport holder of a foreign country. Had a sailor give his up because he couldn’t give up his Colombian passport. Their law was that if you were born there, you had to travel there on a Colombian passport, and he needed to be able to visit his elderly mother.
Now, I don’t think a country can stop you from renouncing their citizenship. If you have no desire to set foot in Cuba again I am pretty sure you can renounce it without consequences.

As a manager, I'm stepping but incredibly stress with the amount of moving parts. I don't have a strong rapport with the partner (Neither did the SM) to be open and transparent on how stressful I'm feeling without downgrading myself.

I'm sick to the stomach and very anxious, stressed at the suddenness of the thrust.

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
