Can a non-US citizen own stock options?

Is it possible for a non-US citizen to own employee stock options of a US firm and make profit out of it? Can anyone tell me how does it work if it is possible? Thanks very much in advance. Edit: thanks so much for the quick reply! Could you please tell me a bit about the procedure? I feel completely lost now, lol.
