Non-US domiciles covers US nonresident aliens, and also US citizens and US resident aliens (that is, green card holders) living outside the US. A nonresident alien is someone who is not a US citizen or resident. US citizens, resident aliens and US residents are US persons.

Before investing
Pay special attention to the sections on tax complications. They show how US tax laws adversely affect even people living outside the US. In both cases, take care to understand these tax rules and restrictions early on. This will help you avoid huge problems later.
