Is this only true if you are filing with the US RO or is it true for any US owner regardless of RO as long as you choose EP as the SA?
It is true for any filer who is paying for ISA/EP using US dollars.
So this happens in RO/US. It can also happen in RO/IB. Anybody who feels like it could file in RO/IB and if they do, they can select which currency they wish to use to pay for the search. The options would include USD, CHF, or EUR.
