    Technically, you'll need to have some sort or US business presense or be from the USA

    I asked a similar question on another forum and got a great answer.

    Here are Enoms TOS:

    I have found quite a few good .us names that have foreign registrant info.

    If it were me, and I lived outside the US, I wouldn't register any .us names. It is against the rules and you could have the name taken from you if anyone reports it or if they catch you. (Though I'm not sure how often that happens.)
