關於應考資格，USPTO有以下說明
https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/OED_GRB.pdf
（第7-8頁）

An alien residing in the United States may apply to take the registration
examination. To be admitted to the examination, an applicant must establish
that recognition is consistent with the capacity of employment authorized by
the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The evidence
must include a copy of both sides of any work or training authorization and
copies of all documents submitted to and received from the USCIS regarding
admission to the United States and a copy of any documentation submitted to
the U.S. Department of Labor. A qualifying non-immigrant alien within the
scope of 8 CFR § 274a.12(b) or (c) is not registered upon passing the
examination. Such an applicant will be given limited recognition under 37 CFR
§ 11.9(b) if recognition is consistent with the capacity of employment or
training authorized by the USCIS. Documentation establishing an applicant’s
qualification to receive limited recognition must be submitted with the
applicant's application.

Qualifying documentation would show that the USCIS has authorized the
applicant to be employed or trained in the capacity of representing patent
applicants before the USPTO by preparing and prosecuting their patent
applications. Any USCIS approval pending at that time will result in the
applicant's application being denied admission to the examination.

*alien：非公民、非綠卡的外國人，就算是alien

*capacity:申請人在美國的合法身分（F1/OPT, H1b等等）是需要勞工局和移民署的批准
工作內容必須「代表專利申請人而對USPTO提出申請案/進行答辯等。

*Limited recognition:有資格應考、且通過之後，如果簽證依然有效，工作內容也不變
USPTO就會發給一個 L開頭的號碼，專門給Alien通過考試者。等拿到綠卡/公民
之後，把身分改變的文件送到USPTO才會改發一個正式專利代理人號碼。

*資格不符：資格不符的人，連應考資格都沒有。
