This is my first ICO, and I find it disturbing that they ask for many documents.

Please tell me the public sale will be different.
Are they seriously asking for all this information for all pre-sale participants?
Whoever sells to US residents immediately becomes a violator of US securities laws. So this is a defence against an accidental American in the investors' pool. US ppl can only play in US ICO's which are very different, cost more... trust me, it's good that US is fenced off. It will eventually be seen as a tragic mistake that cost US a lot - but so far, so good. There is more than one way to structure a deal like that but this is how they decided to proceed.
