How long does it take to get a security clearance
I am planning to apply for H-1B visa in Cairo (I am Egyptian). I just wanted
to get a sense if how long usually it take to obtain a security clearance. I
had to wait for 4 month in 2002 to obtain F-1 visa at that time. So if
anyone had to wait for a clearance recently, it would be helpful if they
share how long it took them.
Thanks in advance.

The time is highly variable. Most people get it in a few weeks, and I
believe at some point the FBI was saying that they completed 97% within
four months. But there are also cases that take much longer; the longest I
heard of was 18 months.
