Medical Clearance - RECEIVED

At of 3:03:44 on September 30, Dave has been determined medically sound for worldwide availability. This means that his health will not bar him from employment in the foreign service, or any particular placement. The rest of the family has yet to receive medical clearance. But even if we do not receive worldwide availability, Dave is still eligible for employment because of his clearance.

This step has been completed.

Now we wait for security clearance. People who passed their interview together with Dave have already received security clearance - so theoretically, it could come within the next few weeks. But people who passed their interview months ago still wait. We have no information on how long we will wait. We are estimating he will receive Security Clearance sometime in the next 10 months.

Does this include mental health clearance for Dave? If it does, I must say I'm a bit surprised he was cleared. ha. But seriously, it's crazy and exciting that you are getting closer and closer to this being a complete reality!
