It has some qualifications to it please read

Recent changes in the relevant sections of the INA (Sections 328 and 329) make it easier for qualified military personnel to become U.S. citizens if they choose to file a naturalization application.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has created a streamlined process specifically for military personnel serving in active-duty status or have recently been discharged.

This brochure provides you with some basic information about the laws that govern citizenship for military personnel and the process you should follow to begin your journey to citizenship.

Do You Qualify?

There are general requirements and qualifications that must be met in order for you to become a U.S. citizen. These include:

Demonstrating that you have good moral character
Demonstrating knowledge of the English language
Demonstrating knowledge of U.S. government and history (“civics”), and
Demonstrating attachment to the United States by taking an oath of allegiance to the U.S. Constitution.
As a member of the military there are other naturalization requirements that you may be excepted from, including the required residency and physical presence in the United States. These exceptions are outlined in Sections 328 and 329 of the INA.



Section 328, INA

This section applies to all members currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces or those who have already been discharged from service.

Have you served honorably for a total of one or more years?
Are you a lawful permanent resident?
Will you be filing your application for naturalization while still in service or within six months of being discharged?

Section 329, INA

This section applies to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who currently serve or have served in active-duty status during authorized periods of conflict as outlined in the INA (WWI; September 1, 1939-December 31, 1946; June 25, 1950-July1, 1955; and February 28, 1961-October 5, 1978) or any additional period designated by the President in an Executive Order.*

* Recently, the President signed an Executive Order identifying September 11, 2001 and after as an authorized period of conflict.

Have you served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces during an authorized period of conflict?
After enlistment, were you lawfully admitted as a permanent resident of the United States, OR at the time of enlistment, reenlistment, or induction were you physically present in the United States or qualifying territory?

Changes on October 1, 2004

Recent legislation has called for additional benefits to members of the military. These benefits will go into effect on October 1, 2004.

No fees will be charged when you file for naturalization.
The naturalization process will be made available overseas to members of the Armed Forces at U.S. embassies, consulates, and where practical, military installations abroad.

If You Qualify…

Every military installation should have a designated point-of-contact to handle your application and certify your Request for Certification of Military or Naval Service (N-426). You should inquire through your chain of command to find out who this person is, so they can help you with your application packet.

I found it on a gov't website,

I hope that's the whole thing. It's true, immigrants can join the military and from there become naturalized citizens.

Brilliant. We can get rid of unwanted, illegal aliens and bolster our undermanned military at the same time. I hope they all form renegade guerrilla units.
