Sorry if I came across suggesting you do something that might get your integrity questioned. My point is, you have a couple of choices. If you can get a Class 1 overseas...GET IT. If you can't, then you have to make a tough choice: 1) call and ask if you can get special consideration 2) wait till you separate/get back to the states to submit applications 3) submit now. Probably your best bet is to ask the question and hope they say it is OK to submit without the Class 1.
