The security clearance process consists of three parts - initiation, investigation, and adjudication. When we talk about security clearance processing times, however, we're generally seeing a reporting of just the investigation and adjudication times. That's because the initiation phase is based on the agency and the applicant. The more quickly and thoroughly you complete your SF-86 or security clearance application on eQIP or eApp, the more quickly the investigation can begin. In some cases, agencies are known for being a bit - slow - when it comes to initiating clearances, as well, and that can increase processing times beyond the average reported figures.
