Theres nothing you can do to change the past so you have three simple options:
1. Apply
2. Apply and lie
3. Don't apply
I strongly suggest picking an odd number.
Realistically sc clearance is simple, you get a pass or a fail based on your past (which you can't change) so just apply and see what happens, worst case you fail and carry on with what your doing now if not you pass and start a new awesome contract.
Pretty much nothing to loose.

Had SC previously (2009) while with same partner and no issue then. The reason last one took so long was because of the UK-Russia ill feeling at the moment, and they need to be assured of mine and her loyalties (the guy actually said that). Things only really moved when shot got British Citizenship. Even so she is now a dual national.
Thanks for the other responces too - It essentially boils down to everything I have read and you guys said, case by case, just be honest.

Fill in the forms, be honest and make sure the information you give is accurate, the only one who can tell you if it will pass or fail is the officer doing the vetting.
Oh and posting that you've been granted clearance (if you are) is probably rather unwise as proclaiming you're cleared to all and sundry, especially in public is a security breach that could lead to it being withdrawn.Last edited by TykeMerc; 30 September 2015, 12:00.

Italian girlfriend should be no problem, unless she is a known member of the mafia or far right political party, serious criminal etc. Housemates don't know.
Be honest and give full and frank declaration.

I used to work with an Iranian who had SC.

The housemates should have no influence on your SC clearance as they are more like friends.
Your girlfriend may.

You need to try mumsnet then I'm afraid. Hugs are in a short supply on here. There is no solid information on SC. Its on a case by case basis and is decided on the merits of the situation.

I do believe the general advice in the sticky is apply, be honest and see what happens. Am not sure what you are trying to gain asking this question. Do you want a hug and for us to tell you it will be OK or to tell you don't have a snowball in hell's chance so you won't waste your time? What difference will either of those responses really make?

SC Clearence and non-UK partner/room mates
Hi,
Firstly, I have read the sticky and multiple threads on this forum, but I have been unable to find any specific answers to my questions.
I am from the UK, and have just landed an amazing opportunity that requires me to be vetted, and obtain SC clearance in order to start. I have lived in the UK my whole life, have no criminal record, no debt, but there are a couple of things that do concern me.
The first is over the last 2 years I have lived in flat shares with room mates of other nationalities. At the moment in the property I rent houses 2 Americans, and an Indian guy for example, and I am not sure if this could affect me obtaining clearance? Also, my girlfriend of 1 year and a half who I currently live with is Italian, and has only lived in the UK for 2 years. I have read a few things, specifically regarding a guy who thinks he failed clearance due to having a Chinese girlfriend, and I also remember another guy having a Russian girlfriend.
Just wondering, do you think these things will affect me when getting vetted? Or should I be OK? Of course I will absolutely answer every question honestly on the form.
