FOID for Temporary worker Visa holder
#1
Posted 11 July 2012 - 09:21 AM
Recently the ISP contacted him requesting more information on his Visa paperwork, which I take as a positive sign that they are at least considering issuing the FOID.
For reference, an H1B Visa is a non-immigration status. They must re-apply every 1 to 3 years and have an overall limit of something like 9 years. They can apply for a green card and pursue immigration status as well.

Terrible. I bet that has more to do with ISP than FBI, but could be both. In IL the call goes to ISP not NICS.

oh my bad, I thought they said they called FBI but NICS sounds close, I probably misheard.
It's silly that I have to bring three months worth of bills, they don't send them or anything, they just note on the application which bill I provided.

I disagree with you 110% If you want to enjoy the freedoms and privelages of being an American you need to be an American.
See if any other country will allow you to purchase a firearm on an American Visa.
The Bill of Rights pertains to American Citizens, not guests, no matter how long they stay.
And doing a thorough background check is almost certainly impossible with all different intracaies of law in all the different countries.

The bill of rights says people, the main constitution uses people, persons, & citizens in a non interchangeable fashion.
You are way wrong & incorrect in your constitutional reasoning.

I respectfully disagree. There are some things that require American citizenship, such as voting. That is how it should be. But guests to our country, here legally, should enjoy the same freedoms, which are god-given rights.

Many would disagree that buying a gun isn't a god-given right, even for American citizens, people in Illinois/Chicago.Cook specifically.

You're comparing us to anti gunners?

In the ongoing war of good versus evil, I always thought the goal (on the pro-gun side) was to arm good people as much as possible and then attempt to disarm evil people. I say "attempt" because we all know that evildoers don't honor the law to begin with so they won't disarm themselves willingly.
In my opinion, I feel that if you rape a woman, murder a human being, molest a child, or commit some other violent crime, you should lose your gun rights. Yes, personal defense is a "god-given" right, but if you commit an atrocity, I feel you should lose "the right to keep and bear arms" just like how you would lose your right to freedom when you are sentenced to prison. It is my belief that in our country, the bad guys have more rights than the good guys and we need to turn that around.
