you will have to fill out the 85 P form and submit a finger print card as well (go to your local law enforcement to have it completed). The form is about 10 pages long . here is the link to the form http://www.opm.gov/Forms/pdf_f.... Some of the details checked are employment history, education history , credit report .

yes you can get one they look at your past history of employment education and your friends and family. I do have public trust clearance and it can take like 2 to six months to get it based on the level you want.

Do we have to be US citizen to get this clearance? Can H1b get any type of clearance? Thanks All in advance.

Thanks Gohtalo. @spur230 As far as I know employers are seeking US Citizen, GC for such type of employment. Don't know if that's something required by law. Check with your prospective employer.

@spur230 Yes H1B can get clearance.I don't think u can work directly with the client i mean they sponsor your clearance.But the vendor can sponsor your clearance and you can work with government.There might be other ways but this is how I am working.
