The website says, "To receive the fellowship, selectees must have a valid U.S. social security number or current work permit." I have a valid U.S. social security number, but not working permit nor Visa now since I'm based in Japan.

Country of Citizenship
Type of Visa and Visa Status
Do you have a current or active working permit?"

Am I a qualified applicant for the fellowship?
