My understanding is only US citizens can go through certain clearance/background checks required by our clients. Although perhaps it's just folks with a valid right-to-work? I don't know for certain, I'll amend it to be "valid right to work in US" and clarify for clearance reasons.

If they need a clearance, then in all but very, very limited circumstances they must be US citizens.
