Among other things, this says:

Reciprocal operating authority is valid until the expiration date on the
alien's amateur service license. Reciprocal operation in a place where the
Amateur Radio Service is regulated by the FCC must comply with Part 97 of
the FCC's Rules and the International Telecommunication Union Radio
Regulations. Operator privileges are those authorized by the alien's
government, but do not exceed those of the FCC Amateur Extra Class operator.

Also note that if you are ever granted citizenship, you will no longer
be allowed to use your foreign call, and will be required to take the
FCC's exams.

I'm a Canadian residing in the US, and when I moved down my call was
VE3THX/W2 (I recall reading that the W2 bit had to be at the end), but
I elected to get a US call since I will be living here permanently and
expect to get citizenship this year.
