So I was selected for IP this time around but was already shot down from IP due to the T5 TS Clearance pre-screening. I am a US born citizen and my father is a US citizen born in S. Korea and my mother is a US green card holder born in S. Korea. They are married and I have not spoken to my parents in over a year as they both could be deceased already. I have ZERO contact with them and have never even left the country once in my life BUT the Navy investigator has already "not recommended" me for a clearance. I am sad, disappointed and to be honest heart broken. It is what it is. It is crazy to think about considering I have no financial or emotional relations with my parents or any foreign countries. S. Korea being an ally of the US makes no difference I guess. My recruiter has tried escalating the situation through the chain of command for a waiver but was already denied within a span of 7 days.
Not sure what to do other then apply for SWO at this point considering Supply is insanely backed up. Either way, very disappointed and a bit disheartened but we move forward.
Good luck and congrats to others who make it through.
