True. The employer will have you fill out forms & will apply for the clearance. It can take a good long time to get unless you have had one previously within two years. The thing is, there could be impediments to getting a clearance at all. Such as lack of US citizenship, felony convictions, prior revocation of a clearance, etc. So the two big questions are "Are you a US citizen?" and "Do you have anything in your past that would possibly stop you from getting a clearance?" Usually a person has a pretty good idea if they've done anything that would stop a clearance. If you have, the best advice I can offer is DON'T LIE!!!! If, for example, you've been busted for drugs and lie about never being busted for drugs, they will likely find out about it and that's it for you. If you tell the truth about it and have a convincing story about how you have reformed yourself, they might still give it to you.
