For engineering jobs (not software developer) there is a chance of getting TN-1 status so I suppose you'd have to explain that.
But really applying for jobs that say that when they don't know you means you won't get interviewed unless they're really desperate to fill the job. It's basically a filter to reduce the stack of resumés they have to plough through.
It's all about who you know, not what you know, as the saying goes.
I never managed to even get an interview for any company that had that on their employment paperwork.
I always think the best bet is to look for a company that has a lot of employees from the country you're from or which is run by people from the country you're from. Just shooting out resumés left and right will get you nowhere. At least look for jobs with non-US companies, e.g. Infosys.
