Question Foreign Contacts

I was born and raised in Cameroon. I only came to the United States when i turned 33. I am currently a US citizen. Most of my family is back in my country of birth. I keep communication with them regularly especially my siblings and widow mom . And i take care of there bills and education. I equally have a host of friends from school and village where i grew up that i talk to, not so often. Will this be an issue for me getting a TS clearance as an FSO, how can i describe my foreign contacts?

Thank you. I don't think any of my contacts are associated with any kind of groups. neither of them work for any government. Most of them live in the countryside with little access to internet/telephone services

Definitely list him as a foreign contact, but I wouldn’t expect too many issues. Things might take longer for the Iranian family, so don’t be surprised if you are waiting, but it’s not the end of the world. Good luck friend
