Hiring Bid Air Traffic Control Specialist - Trainee: FAA-ATO-17-ALLSRCE-53474

I have a quick question regarding background. My security clearance was granted and all im waiting on is medical and background. They needed me to take a pulmonary function test for my asthma and i barely passed. My doc wrote the FAA a nice letter recommending me so I don't foresee any problems with medical. Which leaves the background investigation. Anyone know how long those usually take? I submitted everything for the background investigation back in February.

That should have been done by now. Check in with your security POC and see if there are any issues. If its a full investigation you are looking at a year likely.
*Security clearance is your background check.

Okay I just checked the security clearance email from my security POC and she did state that my "full background investigation has not yet been completed". So I guess theres my answer. Is there any specific reason they decided to do a "full" investigation? I've never been arrested. Ive had two traffic tickets my whole life. Idk im seeing a lot of people from my bid getting class dates and just wondering why their process was so quick.
 
Your post is kinda confusing. You said your security clearance was granted. (That is a conditional clearance) To attend the academy you need a conditional security clearance and a medical clearance. Full security clearances always take much longer but they will omit you from attending the academy only if a conditional was not granted. So if you have a conditional clearance then you should still only be waiting on medical. All of us are waiting on a full security clearance whether we have a FOL or attending the academy presently.
