Hi, I am in the process of enlisting in the Army. I was born in India, but have been a US citizen for 16 years. My dad has been a US citizen for over 30 years and my mom was a Canadian citizen for over 20, becoming a dual US-Canadian citizen about 3 years ago.

Needless to say, I have family all over the world, primarily in the India, US, and Canada, with some in the UK and Dubai (I have only spoken to the Dubai part of the family 3-4 times in my life and only once in the past 5 years) as well.

Will this impact my ability to get a TS/SCI? My recruiter was unsure, as he has never been through the process himself, and the only one in the office who has did not have any of these complications. Just wanted to know prior to signing a contract since I have seen some horror stories.

Also, beyond interviewing me, my immediate family, and references, is there anything else to the process? Do I, or anyone else, have to give polygraphs? What if they cannot get in touch with someone?
