You have to give then credit for at least mentioning US nationals to apply but now if one did and he had all the qualifications, would he get the job before the foreigner with the OCS-B1? Someone need to try to test these guys to see if they are being sqaure here. I really want to believe that they are but one can never be sure until it is put to the acid test?
