turbo prop or turbine powered prop

From the app:

The T-6 is a single engine turbo prop so it does not qualify. So I was wondering if UPS considers it as “jet” time like FedEx does.

My understanding of the application wording is the answer is no. I would say they call it turboprop time.

The FAA themselves does not consider it a "jet" not sure how UPS could.

Not sure FedEx does either:

Put it in the jet category. There is a comment or note section shortly thereafter where you can explain what you did. There were 3 or 4 guys in my new hire class with significant or almost exclusively T6 time. UPS treats it the same as they would treat tweet time.

No US birthrights / Green Card?

I get that the UPS website lists "Have authorization to work in the United States" as a requirement, however can people at international domiciles shine a light on this? On a trip last year I had a chat in cruise with one of our Captains who told about his brother working for UPS in CGN domicile, actually commuting from the same city I live in and he insisted he does not have a Green Card or US citizenship.

We do have lots of guys living all over the world, some with multinationalities but no one that isn’t a PR or US citizen.
