That's exactly what they are doing right now. The program has been suspended and is under review. They took in way too much applicants. It was 3000 for FY 2015 and 5000 for FY 2016. Way more than they can handle. They kicked my language off the eligible language list, but I'm self-learning Portuguese which is eligible. If I can make it OPI 2/2 I still have a shot, but I wouldn't be surprised if this program gets canceled. I'll just need to figure out a way to get a green card so I can join the Army. But for those from places like Afghanistan and are facing contract cancellation, I don't know what they're going to do and what I can do to help.
