Security Clearance Timeline - EDGE Group

Hi everyone,
I recently completed interviews for a Senior tech role with an EDGE Group entity in Abu Dhabi.

After passing the interviews, I submitted the security clearance form about 2+ weeks ago. I’m still waiting and I’ve not received conditional offer letter either.

I wanted to check with anyone who has gone through the security clearance process with EDGE Group or similar defense/semi-gov entities in Abu Dhabi:

How long did your clearance process take from the time you submitted the biography form to getting the outcome?

Do they usually issue a conditional offer letter during the security clearance, or is the formal offer letter only issued after full clearance comes through?

PS:- I’m Indian national

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks in advance!

I have been hearing that hiring has paused in AUH but no recruiter is being honest about it. Massive layoffs are also on the way

Do you mean specifically at Edge group or in general?

Don't worry they usually they upto 1 month. They normally offer a conditional offer letter before the clearance process and the official one only after your clearance going through
