For my own interest sake has this always been the case? I worked for five years in the nineties in government nuclear industry and I can't ever remember anyone there who wasn't British-born. I know things have probably changed and become more de-regulated but I would be interested to know.olisun wrote:It's minimum ILR and in some cases you have to be a british citizenWanderer wrote:I think you have to be British born for this, or you used to be.namastelondon wrote:Can we initiate this secutiy clearance from india on our own.How much time & money is required for getting this secutiy clearance.

Does this apply to to what was positive vetting? I remeber having to sign the Official Secrets Act. What we were doing was related to atomic material for weapons.VictoriaS wrote:Non-UK nationals can get security cleared. There are plenty of US national interns working in government departments and the Houses of Parliament.
But it has to be applied for by the employer.

These are usually reserved for only British citizens. That could be a reason for not selecting you.
This is interesting to me cos I'm struggling to remeber!lavkir wrote:SKUK wrote:They usually ask for SC (also called DV) if the client is a govt organisation like MoD, Police, GCHQ etc. (sensitive/confidential projects). Were the clients that you gave interviews for falling into these categories ?

The first company which is a well-known MNC asked me during the interview as to how long I have been in the UK, I replied 1 year, the next day they came back saying unfortunately the role is with the Metropolitan Police and you would need SC.
The second company said that they found a candidate with SC and so we cannot hire you, despite the job not requiring SC.
I think one needs to stay in the UK for 3 years to be eligible for SC or be a UK citizen.
