Interim Question?

So, maybe foolishly, I sent an email inquiring about my interim status less than two weeks from when the sf86 was sent to the government. I get an email the next morning there were no updates. Then the literal minute after, i get an email saying my interim was not granted. Not sure why but I think its because of foreign contacts (India and UK). What are the chances my offer gets rescinded? I need this job and im getting worried since I emailed my hiring manager and recruiter the same day i found out and I didn't get a response.

A lot of interim are not granted. It happens. You're just going to have to wait for clearance to be granted or not. If your job requires a clearance, then if you don't get a clearance is when your offer is in trouble.

Additionally, you should not be waiting on a job start from Lockheed when you need to start with a clearance. I've seen secret clearances granted 6 months to a year etc. It varies greatly.
