mental illness

If you have depression and get it under control, does that still count against you? I mean, it's not like I'm piloting an airplane.

having parents or spouses from other countries

Welp, disqualified. My dad couldn't speak enough English to naturalize, still a PRC citizen.

Wait, now I think about it, he meets the 55/15 exception, idk if he filed for natualization yet.

    You wouldn't get disqualified. They would look into their private life, determine if they are Party members, look at your financial history to determine if you or anyone in your family is undergoing financial hardship, or faces undo influence from foreign actors.

    There are plenty of Chinese nationals with clearance. It's a flag, but flags affect your risk level. It's not an absolute disqualifier.
