How long does it take to receive an interim security clearance? What is the general timeframe to receive one?

Question

I've read from a couple of websites that it can take up to 30 days but I'm wondering if it really takes that long. Anyone have any experience with this?

Answer 1

Receiving an interim security clearance can take less than 30 days. But, it depends on the people who are doing it. If they work with a sense of urgency, they can do it within a few days. But, if they slack off, it can take up to 30 days or longer.
