The truth is, some clearance take longer, some take shorter.
All in all, it should fall within the range of anything between 2 months to 4 months. For your case it had been 2.5 months and you should probably be hearing from HR soon anytime from now to the 4th month mark.

Once cross 4th month, probably not very hopeful as it shouldnt take too long as most average clearance takes 2-4 months if you ask around (nothing confidential about this).

HR say my clearance started at Oct, similar to another person whom posted here, but now it is January yet no news yet. didnt went for medical also, how ah

I have friends who have been eventually cleared for CAT1A roles last year with HR telling them it will take up to 6 months - most took around 3-4 months though. but if yours is an average clearance, then it should definitely be faster. Also, most people DO pass security clearances unless you have relatives working in foreign govt (they check even the long dist ones).

Dec (even early Jan) is usually a quiet month where people are clearing their annual leaves so that may delay things further and Oct was also when COVID cases hit their peak so you can imagine how that has affected the workflow.

if anything, communicate with the HR people - they are more than happy to help you. all the best!
