To put my two cents in here, while you are working for a foreign company and being paid by that foreign company you are not earning any credit toward SS payments when you retire. Now if you are working for a crew leasing company based in the US under contract to a foreign company, (ex. Air Japan), then you will earn credit as the company you are actually employed by is the US based crew leasing company.
So in other words, if you are employed by a US company then yes, you still earn SS credit. If not, then no. But you will still be able to get SS benefits when you retire based on what you have already paid in during your past employment in the states.

Not quite correct, I am with PARC which is not a US based company, but I file taxes as an independent contractor and I file every quarter just like a plumber, or real state agent would, you are basically considered as self employed by the IRS, under this filing scheme you can choose to continue your contributions to the SS.
