Is there any way to figure out what prevented you from getting your security clearance? This was my first attempt, I have no skeletons in my closet re: arrests, drugs, firings, etc. Really disappointed since I've wanted this job for a while and have gone through a couple of interviews at this point. Thoughts?

Any travel to non friendly countries or bad financial history/low credit score?

Foreign contacts?

What exactly did you learn? You were denied? What level of clearance?

You can submit a privacy act request to the agency adjudicating your security clearance application and you will receive their records for your clearance process. It will not clarify the reason for granting/otherwise, but it may illuminate some points of interest in your background/interview responses.

It may reveal an inconsistency between something that was disclosed vs what a records review or interview reference reported. Don’t get too discouraged!

Agree w pwc here. You can foia request. Expect delays, and you’ll have to pester them to get it, but you can and should.
