7 years working (assuming US) + some positive number of years in school is enough time to slough the indian style english quirks. You would be surprised how many people born in india that have moved to the US actually speak american english (even if there is an accent). I've yet to see any evidence that this person is not an overseas developer fishing for contract work. And yes, I've dealt with enough people that claim to be based in the US but turn out to be in India that I take everything with a grain of salt. And if you haven't, you probably haven't tried to find an employee or contractor.
