Yeah, that was how I read it.  This seems to most commonly happen if  
you find someone in your "first pass" (eg by internal reference) who  
seems ideally suited to your position, but is not a US citizen.   You  
have to "prove" that you've tried to find an equally qualified person  
who IS a US citizen.  It's a real PITA, given that "good" people seem  
so hard to find in general, and the "workaround" is not difficult (as  
in this case, you advertise such detailed requirements that hardly  
anyone else is  likely to fit the description.)  Feh.  (The rule is to  
prevent hiring "cheap" non-citizen labor in favor of citizens.)

That's for the US, of course.  Experiences in other countries may vary.
