OP, one thing to be aware of is that by law the person being investigated has the right to see what anyone has said about him/her.

I haven't had OPM come to the door, but I have had USIS (U.S. Investigations Services) show up unannounced to check up on a neighbor. USIS is the group that's getting a lot of grief over its background investigation of Edward Snowden, currently living in Moscow and possibly posting on the NoVa forum as the appropriately named "snowdenscold". ;-)

I remember when I was undergoing a background investigation for a top-secret clearance, and a buttoned-down FBI agent showed up in my working class neighborhood to ask people living on my street about me. I think when he showed up in the neighborhood, I was sprawled shirtless on my front lawn getting a sun tan.

Got the tan and got the security clearance as well!

Got a visit like that when an acquaintance applied to work for the FBI. No biggie.

Have done several of these for neighbors as well as former neighbors. Seems pretty standard to me, but I have not been in northern Virginia too long (since 1994).
