Interim security clearance “bypassed”. What does this mean?

I got job offer that requires security clearance (secret) and started SF86 application. Two weeks an after they submitted my application, HR notified me that interim clearance will be “bypassed” and they will wait for actual clearance instead. They used the word “bypassed”.
I am NOT dual citizen.

These are the three things which complicate things for me, especially #3

  1. My immediate family are not US citizens and they live outside US

- India and Australia.

  1. I often send money to them to support them. I have indicated this on the form.

Could someone please share their experiences with interim clearance getting bypassed - what are the chances I will get complete clearance and if chances are good then how long will it take.

If government did not grant me interim then why would it grant complete clearance ! So why did HR say it will wait for complete clearance ?

I have not been applying for other jobs since I got this offer and I am dreading to start all over again.

Thank you.

Question about interim clearance getting “bypassed”.

I got job offer from Raytheon and started security clearance application. Two weeks after they submitted my application, HR notified me that interim clearance will be bypassed and they will go for actual clearance instead.

These are the three things which complicate things for me, especially #3

  1. My immediate family are not US citizens and they live outside US.

  2. I often send money to them to support them. I have indicated this on the form.

  3. I have sent money to non US citizens living outside US. They are usually my friends or relatives. I sent them money in case of an emergency or if they loaned me money in the past. I forgot to include entire list of recipients on the form.

Could someone please share their experiences with interim clearance getting bypassed - what are the chances I will get complete clearance and if chances are good then how long will it take.

I have not been applying for other jobs since I got this offer and I am dreading to start all over again.
