you must be a legal resident or us citizen as well.

Answer 2

Individuals do not apply for security clearances, employers apply for clearance for their employees based on the type of work they will be doing.  It all depends on the level of clearance, but in general:  The process is expensive and time consuming.  The applicant must document scholastic, employment, residential, financial and criminal history, going back a number of years.  The length of time is determined by the level of clearance.  Family members and associates must also be identified.  Field interviews are conducted to verify information, which may lead to further questions.  Fingerprints are run, and foreign and domestic databases are checked; a polygraph may also be required.
