I submitted my SC clearance application on the 22nd November, and on the 2nd December, I looked on the NSV portal, and it said that my application status was completed. I was expecting it to take at least a couple of months. I phoned my sponsor today to see if they'd heard anything, but they hadn't, so I phoned the NSV helpline, and they told me that my clearance had been processed on the 2nd, and I had valid SC clearance, which was valid for 5 years. I even asked her if that meant it had been granted and she said yes. She also told me that it gets sent out by 2nd class post, so that would be why my sponsor wouldn't have heard anything yet.
I just can't understand why it's been processed so quickly, and I'm sat here 2nd guessing myself that something must be wrong. I don't have a criminal record of any kind, and no serious debt problems, apart from some credit card debt, which I paid off earlier this year, and none of it was ever in arrears, payments never missed etc. Apart from the debt (about 20k) I have a really good credit record.
Has anybody heard of an SC clearance going through so quickly? Does the fact that they told me I had valid SC clearance mean I'm just being paranoid, and can stop worrying, or is it possible they might not have had all the information relating to my application? I just can't understand how its been granted in 10 days? I half expected it to get refused due to my son's record, and I've been worrying like hell about it, now I have a worrying wait of up to 10 days to wait for my sponsor to receive my cert by snail mail!
Any thoughts would be welcome, thanks.
