FBI Background checks?
- Looks like they interview the people you worked with
- Fingerprinting
- Don't lie to them

Top Secret actually does do this
Investigators fly to you and interview your friends and neighbors
In person
Oh I thought this was literally when applying for the fbi, looks like a dude for a bank

for TS/SCI, the FBI absolutely 100% will interview previous roommates, boyfriends/girlfriends, professors, employers, friends, enemies, etc. as part of the SSBI. The SSBI also includes a polygraph and a deep dive into your finances.
it's also a felony to lie to the FBI, so don't do that

SSBI often does not include or require a polygraph

not true for FBI special agent applications, but possibly true elsewhere
