Yes you can register .us domains but you may lose it after some years...

You can register or get from others . So far , it is not the problem for me . but it is against the policy of .us domain .
Only the US resident can register or you must have business contract at US.

[nishant.soni]

does this .us domain make any difference to SEOs?

[thewebhostingdir]

You can register .us extension. Not an issue. I do not think .us extension make any difference in SEO

[sky_king]

For seo .com rank highest so get a .com if you want to dominate :)

To paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld in his rental-car agency episode "Anyone can take a reservation - the trick is to hold the reservation".

Anyone can register a .US (no proof required). The trick is to hold it if they do an audit and ask for documents proving your eligibility.
