    CTC (Counter terrorism) security check

    Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you are currently going through a CTC security check or have had one before? I was offered a really good position working for the government in August. I will be working for a company that are contracted to this particular establishment and it's a full time permanent position. I sent off my Application through my sponsor (line manager) for the check about September and the FCO (Foreign commonwealth office) were the ones dealing with my security check. I have signed my contract with my company and passed clearance with them so literally waiting for this separate CTC clearance to finalise so I can start. I heard it could take up to 6 months but I am still worried and I don't know why. I had a silly little thing when I was 16 ( graffiti on a wall) which I got a warning for which I declared but apart from that I have nothing that would go against me. I have no debts and have had nothing else that could harm my application. Am I right in getting worried or should I just be patient and hopefully be cleared soon? I got made redundant last year so this job was a fantastic opportunity but causing me a lot of stress due to the length of time it's taking to clear. I currently have temp work which is fine but part of me is worried I'm going to have my application rejected so I can't start my new job

    Can you post this in the 'no paragraphs' forum so they no paragraphers can read it and respond with paragraphs.

    Thanks.

          They won't give a toss about graffiti unless it was writing "romanes eunt domus" 40,000 times across Thames House.

            CTC is an ID and credit check, nothing else (in my terms the "You are who you say you are" test*). If it's taking more than a week or two, the paperwork is sat in somebody's in tray somewhere.


            * BPPC - "You are you"; CTC - "You are who you say you are"; SC - "We agree you are who you say you are" and DV - "We know who you really are"
            Blog? What blog...?

              Thanks. I was told it could take up to 6 months though for my clearance but just wanted to see if anyone was in the same boat as me?

                Bollocks. DV doesn't take six months, SC averages 4 weeks, CTC about 2.

                Someone somewhere isn't doing their job.

                  Paperwork is being delayed over the X-mas/New year period - what a shocker...
