Point is, there was enough complaining to FCC about multiple choice
code tests that they were eliminated. If there's enough complaining
about nonresident aliens being VEs and holding permanent US licenses,
those rules can change too.


AFAIK, the NCVEC eliminated those tests, not the FCC

Unless I misunderstood the Report and Order, FCC removed them.


The FCC never specified the format of the code tests as administered by the
VECs only the code speed. Initially some required solid copy, others had
mutiple choice questions, and others had fill in the blanks. Eventually the
council of VECs agreed upon using fill in the blank questions only with
candidates also able to pass with solid copy if they did not get 7 out of 10
questions right.
