[1] On October 29th, 2024, I learned the government job was put on hold on or before October 10th, 2024. It seems you’re cleared, but unfortunately, the position in New York is currently on hold from the client’s side. They issue an interim clearance first, and then you receive the final clearance after the interview. You can start working with the interim clearance.
