That's kinda the point - when I first arrive I'll be on a visa (I-94) WITHOUT permanent US residency or I-51 and so the ATF (regardless of State) says "An alien admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa is prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing a firearm or ammunition unless the alien falls within one of the exceptions provided in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(2), such as: a valid hunting license or permit, admitted for lawful hunting or sporting purposes" which is why I was going through the hoops to show residency in TN which qualifies me for a TN residential hunting permit which in turn satisfies the law around non-immigrants purchasing firearms whilst not technically being a US permanent resident!! The whole reason for the screwing about is that I have no family in the US to sponsor me and I have no plans on working (early retirement) so no business sponsor so no way to apply for a green-card in advance so need to be there and then apply for a change in visa.

Hi All The UK is driving me crazy, I want to live in a country where the majority of people speak English (unlike England!). So planning on getting properly 'Off-Grid' in TN. Before applying for Citizenship I want to spend some time in TN to make sure it's the right move. Only thing I wont have initially is a SSN (and here is where I am looking to you guys for anything I may have missed so feel free to throw rocks at this plan). I can buy or rent in TN without citizenship as long as I pay cash, having a TN residence allows me to get a TN drivers licence and register a vehicle. This is enough proof of residence to get a TN resident hunting permit which in turn allows me to purchase a firearm without being a US Citizen (as far as I can tell, being ex-military from another country counts for nothing). The only thing I'm likely to get screwed on is truck/bike/RV insurance without an SSN. Does this sound about right?? Look forward to hearing from you. I'm aware of the time limitations on visas so lets avoid that as a topic pls.
