Hey, I am not sure what AKAS means. but depending on the location it looks they are waiting on your security clearance. May be file an ATI request with the CSIS

"Possible AKAS" likely means their system is suggesting that you might have aliases (AKA = also known as).
"Clearance Pending" might mean waiting for security screening; but hard to tell for sure withou CSIS notes.
