2 weeks ago I met up with two federal agents that called me and wanted to ask me some questions related to a National Security Investigation. That same day I talked to them.
From what I gathered from the questions ask, I became a lead after they use facial recognition using my state DMV database. The picture used of the suspect only showed his eyes and eyebrows (he was face masked).
They asked me about my background, social media use and religious affairs. At the end of the interview it was very clear that I was not the person they were looking for.
I am about to start in the next month a background check for a job at CBP.
My questions are:
How long does it take clear a lead in an investigation lead in my circumstances?
Will this impact negatively my background check with CBP?
