Many years ago I got engaged to a foreigner while living overseas (Eastern Europe), reported the close and personal relationship to my SSO, and then got married. Soon after I lost access to a SAP (NFC allowed) that was necessary for my position. I had to switch jobs.

My wife also owned an apartment in her country and had a foreign bank account with over $10k in it. The clearance transfer to my new organization got held up because of this. They couldn’t clear the flag that someone put in JPAS or push my clearance to Scattered Castles to get read in. I lost my new job because it took over a year to fix (I was advised to sell the property and close the bank account). By the time we did that, my TS expired (I was due for a PR when I got married). I switched careers and left DOD. I still don’t know a hard rule to follow to prevent something like this. In hind sight, I should have asked my SSO more questions about how marriage and foreign property would affect my specific position and access. Especially while working on a SAP. This was a career ending problem for me.
