<p>Thanks, Helen. That sounds just like our situation. The more I hear, the more confident I feel that all will be well. We did the extra MEPS stuff also, so that's why I was surprised to have it come up again, but I've had others tell me the recruiters may have forgotten to send along that paperwork or something very simple like that.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your sailor - I'm sure you are very proud of him :)</p>

<p>Hi, I am British with an A card and have lived in the states for 23 years. My husband is a US citizen My son had to do a lot more paperwork at MEPS and with his recruiter, but all was well and this June he will have been in 4 years, not sure his level of clearance, but he's an FC. Made 2nd class this past winter and is out on his first deployment. It just means more paperwork, he should be fine.</p>

<p>evanzmom,</p>
<p>Sweetie, you better learn to relax just a bit because there's going to be heavier stuff to come later. At worst, it'll take a little longer. NO big deal really. Don't want you husband to get bend out of shape. You two have to stay strong for his bootcamp, A school, etc. etc. Of course, deployment will be tough - at least the first one.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing your experience, Craig. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I have zero control over this situation so I have to accept whatever happens. For my son's sake, and my husband's, I hope it all works out okay. My husband would be heartbroken to think he caused my son to be refused clearance for his chosen career. My husband was the biggest cheerleader encouraging him to join up in the first place. I choose to believe - it will all be okay in the end :) </p>

<p>Thanks, Captain. I keep telling myself that whatever will be will be, and I need to just let this go and have faith. Since we had this discussion the first time he went to MEPS as a DEP, I'm hoping you are right and we are just repeating the process because some paperwork didn't get sent along with my son to BC with his orders.</p>

<p>evanzmom - I think your son can possibly be allowed to go in as an IT. He will need a "letter of compelling need", which basically means that the Navy can't do without him. An example is I had an SBI access and I married a foreigner, because my job was so critical at the time, the Navy gave me a Letter of Compelling need to allow me to continue with what I was doing.

It's almost like "silver bullet" they keep in special cases. They don't give them out easily. To allow me to keep my clearance, I had to agree that my wife would gain her citizenship (naturalized) at the 1st opportunity. </p>

<p>Why is being a British citizen are so hard? It's because if your husband happened to be a spy, then the U.S. could not go after him as easily. As a U.S. citizen, they have the power to bring him back (from most countries). The reason they were easy on BunkerQB is she was naturalized. She is subjected to U.S. rules. The long arm of the U.S. can go out and grab her back, if needed. Luckily, your husband is British and is from a low risk country. Luckily for you they are asking for his Alien Registration Number and his birth certificate. They could have easily said "No". The investigators are doing their checks. </p>
<p>Here are the rules for IT. You will see ICD-704 posted at the very bottom. Notice the SSBI is marked? That is where his hold up is. </p>

I wouldn't get too excited yet. I got a similar call questioning the citizenship of my wife.... and she was born on a d@mn Navy base!<br />
<br />
There are a few things that my daughters enlistment allowed me to re-acquainted with. Among them is the annoying Navy habit of doing the same flipping thing over and over and over.<br />

Someone no doubt has a logical explanation for the maddening repetition, however I've spent the last 25 years in the private sector where the rules about waste are tad different... Specifically, if you're wasteful, your job goes to China. Suffice to say, any explanation offered by a knowledgeable Navy type would be met by a glazed look and blocked out of my head. The CYA mentality is at odds with my daily battle to keep the business growing and my people employed in a harsh economic environment.

<p>I am a naturalized US citizen (country high risk). My husband is US born. My son is a nuke officer with highest security clearance. My sister, a naturalized US citizen has worked for the Navy for 30 years. It may take a little time but it shouldn't be a problem.</p>
