Wait am I reading this right? You have to be citizen? I'm a permanent resident with full work authorization. I was under the impression that my right to work was protected by law...

Otherwise I have solid experience with all technologies listed except InVision



Hey buddy, when you're on OUR side of the fake line, your "rights" are what we give ya.

You want the Full America package, you need to naturalize and renounce whichever terrorist government you swear allegiance to now.


Even if that weren't a requirement, you aren't going to be able to to get clearance without citizenship:

> Non-U.S. citizens do not qualify for a security clearance. [1]

So it's a fairly moot point. That being said, there are plenty of positions that can disqualify you for non-citizenship for protected information. Healthcare, government contractors, etc. Your right to work in the US is protected, your right to a job is not.

Plenty of jobs (especially in government/defense) require full citizenship and security clearance.


Not for certain government contractor roles. They can be required by the government to only employ citizens. Some roles can even preclude naturalized citizens if it’s extraordinarily sensitive due to their inexorable ties to a foreign government and people.
