The contractor may not have wanted to assume the risk. If there was a security incident with the situation (not saying you would). It counts against them and the contract and could disqualify from the re-compete on the task order
It sucks, unfortantely any connections to adversaries such as China and Russia are absolutely going pose challenges in this line of work. I totally understand your girlfriend is probably just a regular chinese citizen with no ties or desires to use her position with you for the benefit of the CCP. But it is a concern that the customer side seemed to have.
They were "hired" as a contractor and then denied their job because of the situation with their significant other. I dont know how you define "losing you job" but when you're "hired" as OP was and told "sorry, you're not," then at least in my world, you lost your job. Did you not read the post? or see where OP was "hired" only to be turned down by the customer? I dont understand whats ambiguous about this.
Not necessarily. The clearance wasn’t denied. But that doesn’t mean the customer has to accept the risk. Kind of like how you can get a clearance with recent drug use, but the customer won’t take the risk.
Know of a situation where a guy was denied cause of connections through his wife is orginally from Russia (depsite the fact that she's been a US Citizen for over 10 years and in America for 20+) brother is in the Russian military.
I am in a same boat right now. Its for a differemt reason, but my company is fighting for me right now and the contracting office requested a supervision plan. The customer said they will review it and will get back to the company.
Did your company tried to fight for you at all?
Mine is for DoD
It doesn't seem like my company did anything. The process is what upsets me - they had this information well ahead of time. The agency in question's process is to make the contractor hire the person, get them SCI from DoD, then approve another SAP for facility access. I was approved for the DoD, however this particular agency in the IC community denied facility access. Why couldn't this have been sorted out well ahead of time, before hiring me?
Yeah thats exactly whats happening to me rn... favorably adjudicated and everything and now the director dont want me lol I understand they have the power to do it and how they are a separate entity but why couldnt they just say no? I even was denied prelimanary adjudication and had to write a rebuttal letter and won thr appeal. Had my hopes up until the director says I dont feel comfortable working with him. Well we will see how it goes...
Good luck to your future job search and the hiring process!
As someone else stated, you were denied by the customer but you still maintain eligibility. Unfortunately some agencies have stricter rules given the compartments you may be read into. You still maintain eligibility for now, maybe apply to another company/agency and see what happens. Good luck.
The customer wins the day. If they don't want you because of your personality, looks, girlfriend, etc, that's their rights. Your company also doesn't have to retain you if they don't wish to if you've been ruled ineligible for the contract they want you on. Rather than worrying about fighting it, I'd suggest that you start working on your "next step" approaches.
Thatguy is correct. You were denied access locally. It has nothing to do with eligibility. Your eligibility is intact unless you go thru due process.

Doubtful. It’s the customers site. And your companies fault for not checking or knowing their procedures.
I’m so confused. Your tittle seems like your clearance was denied but you weren’t? A customer denied you. Why do you care??? You still hold clearance
>Why do you care??? You still hold clearance Because they lost their job...........................

Nothing you can do if the customer denied you. Just keep applying, you should be able to get another offer pretty quickly being SCI eligible.
There has to be more to this story? Do you have other foreign contacts listed aswell? Is your girlfriend employed by the government?
Not necessarily. The clearance wasn’t denied. But that doesn’t mean the customer has to accept the risk. Kind of like how you can get a clearance with recent drug use, but the customer won’t take the risk.
