If you have any skeletons in your closet you won’t want to go through DV, believe me.Have patience. In time, even grass becomes milk.Comment

Originally posted by chasingtheaurora View PostAgreed on the skeletons in the closet thing but DV is very understanding, so long as you disclose them. I disclosed everything and they were good; I know someone who didn't disclose a driving ban for drink driving ten years ago and he failed.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

If you do have skeletons in the cupboard, you can still get DV'd, as long as the government are happy that you are not blackmailable, they will give you clearance.
I had DV clearance, and had to get NATO clearance to work in Baghdad, my clearance came through on my last week there.Comment

Blackmailable ? I don't think I have any skeletons like that.
I'm more concerned that .... ermm.... CV/profile maybe doesn't quite accurately reflect past clients/dates. Not accurately at all in some cases. Like a holiday brochure it emphasises what you want to see and doesn't mention the construction site outside the balcony.
I think I'll drop out of the NATO thing as this would be picked up and I would fail the test.
I don't suppose they would recruit me based on one CV but accept a totally different one for the clearance checking !Comment

The clearance itself probably won't check the CV - it's more about what you are like as a person and whether they think that you would be a target for blackmail / selling secrets etc.
The CV checking part is the job of an interviewer and agency rather than the clearance department.Comment
