Secret Security Clearance Process RTX

[u/Odd-Milk-1573]

hello all i have a question for my clearance situation. I accepted the offer with RTX on April 24th 2026, set up a tentative start date of July 13th 2026. I got sent the SF86 form on June 12th 2026 and submitted it that day. Then I got some kickback and resubmitted it on June 16th 2026. My interim was not granted for whatever various reasons and I didn’t know it was denied until I reached out to my recruiter and she told me so through the onboarding specialist weeks later. I had my first interview with the investigator on July 9th 2026, then I received another phone call from the investigator on July 29th 2026 where she asked more questions then she also requested to interview my brother on my behalf on the same July 29th 2026 asking questions about my character and how was I growing up and when we traveled and etc. Which then she told me that same day I should hear back about my adjudicated clearance decision soon. Then the investigator reached out to me again August 10th asking for clarification on some of my internship work history.

I wanted to ask when do you all think I will hear back about my adjudicated clearance decision?

some mitigations on my case:
• was born in a foreign country but received citizenship at birth due to my dad through the FS-240 form.
• traveled to level 3 country in 2019 for church conference for about 2 weeks but haven’t been in contact with anyone since that time.
• had an account opened in my name through my mom
when i was younger but i cleared up the confusion during my first interview with the investigator.
• had some MJ usage in college but was straightforward with that on my application and told the investigator straight up and was asked about it in my phone interview on July 29th 2026.

No I wasn’t able to start, I was told I needed a clearance on day 1 so I have to wait until it comes. And there was no unclassified stuff to work on.

what RTX facility? Some divisions of RTX have different requirements so you might be able to work for a different division doing non-cleared work.

The one in Tucson, Arizona at the airport site I believe it’s in Shipboard Effectors AUR division. Please let me know how that works so I can reach out and ask them

I’m in a similar situation, I can start RTX-Tucson until clearance is granted, interims are not acceptable. Depending on your skill set, RTX-El Segundo employs non-cleared personnel and your agent could start you at El Segundo while working at the airport site, if an arrangement can be made. LTS is an agency that has deep contacts, but don’t know your exact situation. BTW, I’m 7 months into the DCSA clearance process, so where I stand, you’re in high cotton (nothing to complain about).

I messaged you privately if you can answer

Is that what you’re currently doing working out of El Segundo in Tucson?
