Prohibitions applicable to certain aliens. Federal law makes it unlawful for aliens who are illegally or unlawfully in the United States to receive or possess firearms. In addition, subject to certain exemptions, aliens who are in a non-immigrant status are prohibited from possessing or receiving firearms in the United States.

A non-immigrant alien is not subject to this prohibition if the alien:

is in possession of a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States;
is an official representative of a foreign government who is accredited to the United States Government or his or her government’s mission to an international organization having its headquarters in the United States; or
has received a waiver from the prohibition from the Attorney General of the United States.

See 18 USC 922(y)(2) for additional exceptions.

In order to determine whether applicants who are not United States citizens are prohibited from possessing firearms under Federal law, it is necessary to obtain answers to the following questions:
