403(b) Rollover In's - NON US Pension Assets

[Nassau]

My client is asking if a participant from the UK can rollover their Pension plan from the UK to a 403(b) Plan in the U.S. The question is two fold, will his UK plan allow and will a US 403(b) allow?

A relevant term to search on is "QROPS" (it comes from the UK-side wherein a person can move their UK pension to a qualified retirement scheme in another country providing the rules are met; I haven't made any attempt to understand the rules so no idea how hard it is or whether a 403(b) falls into the category).
