But I am not sure if I will pass the foreign eligibility finding. An opinion given today may not reflect the situation at the time of application. Q. I am curious about when the process begins for a foreign eligibility finding. I was just notified by the ATP that I'm a semi-finalist, but I have a foreign parent. A determination of foreign eligibility will not be made until after the oral review.
Information collected at the oral review is used in the foreign eligibility finding process.
Only those projects which reach the finalist stage, and whose participants are determined to be the U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned companies will be subject to a foreign eligibility finding. Q. I don't understand how a foreign eligibility finding is carried out. Note that the ATP does not conduct broad surveys of the national policies of other countries. Q. I am a U.S. -owned company currently participating in an ATP project. We are in the process of being acquired by a foreign-owned company.
