How Contractors Get Facility Security Clearances

Having a Facility Clearance (FCL) makes a business attractive, but that desire does not provide the needed justification for obtaining a security clearance.

Though the volume of those questions have increased, I guess the topic is no longer surprising in content as it could have been many years ago.   Many years ago, we might automatically assume that working for a foreign owned company would be indicative of highly questionable practices, but maybe not any longer.  Things have changed. More foreign owned companies are opening doors in the U.S. Internet opportunities open doors to employment. Working for foreign companies provides new opportunities regardless of boarders such as: investment, teleworking, and creative content services that allow artists to bid on customer jobs have made this more of a possibility.  But the questions have been pretty vague and hard to answer.  Am I allowed to work for a foreign company if I have a security clear...
