Answer 2

Yes I do believe that is true, that we have agreements with different countries, that if they serve in the military, they can become US citizens, I even remember30 years ago, when I was in, the Filipinos would join to become citizens, here is a quote.........
The Dallas Morning News

They come from Mexico, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Colombia, Cambodia and a hundred other countries across the globe to find the promise of America. Increasingly they enlist to fight, and sometimes die, in America's wars.

About 69,300 foreign-born men and women serve in the U.S. armed forces, roughly 5 percent of the total active-duty force, according to the most recent data. Of those, 43 percent – 29,800 – are not U.S. citizens. The Pentagon says more than 100 immigrant soldiers have died in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, President Bush and Congress, citing long-established wartime powers, streamlined the process by which immigrants in the armed forces could become naturalized citizens.

As of October, more than 25,000 immigrant soldiers had become U.S. citizens as a result. Another 40,000 are believed eligible to apply. And roughly a third of noncitizens in the all-volunteer military come from Mexico and Central America.

Answer 3

No, but if they do serve in the United States Armed Forces, it will make it a lot more likely they'll be accepted once they apply for citizenship - and can apply sooner than aliens who don't serve in the Armed Forces.

Answer 4

Not automatically, but i believe it does speed up the process.

Answer 5

Yes, if they live.

Answer 7

Answer 8
