I am a MSII in Army ROTC who contracted at the beginning of the year. By contracting I also sent in my SF-86 for my Security Clearance. I have dual citizenship for the U.S. and Ireland, including an Irish passport that was used twice. I let my COC know immediately MSI year of my situation and was told it was not a problem. However, I did research for myself and it looked like I had to give up my Irish Citizenship but this was never confirmed. I got a call 2 weeks ago from OPM who said that I have to schedule a meeting to go over the situation. He was very ambiguous and did not really say much about it.
I am more than ready to renounce my citizenship. However, I have not been told yet whether to do so or not. Also, I have my Irish passport on me incase I have to turn it over.
Does anyone have experience with the security clearance process? I was born in the U.S. and the only reason my mom (who was born here) got me a Irish passport was so she did not have to deal with 3 small children while going through immigration to see my grandparents who live over the pond. Trust me, if I could get a straight answer from someone I would not be asking for help online. I would appreciate any advice/experiences because I am jumping to conclusions over something I should not be. I just want to do whatever I need to do so I can commission.
