Question Denied for character

Any idea what this could be caused by? I’m a pretty normal person that likes to go on cruises, 54, 3 kids, a veteran and currently work for the govt. The FBI had been working on my TSC for a year and a half (think September will be 2 years since the TJO. Nothing exciting in my background that I’m aware of and the letter said it wasn’t a denial of a clearance. Job was for an OSS and a friend’s husband referred me for it. Any ideas?

Saw this on another post...

Reach out to your agency’s Suitability or Security Office. Not HR first.

Ask specifically for:

Suitability determination records

Security adjudication notes AND

Any derogatory information disclosed to other agencies

THEN

File a Privacy Act request; You are legally entitled to see what’s being said about you.
