That depends.

It is possible for some, but it may not be possible for you.

yes - there are thousands of men and women enlisted in the military that aren't citizens. you do need your green card. talk to a recruiter - they'll square you away.

Yes you can. You just won't be able to go for any classified jobs.

Yes, you don't have to be a citizen to join the US military.

I don't believe you have to be a US citizen to join the US military. I would suggest that you speak with a recruiter to get the definitive answer on that. All you will get here is best guesses and opinions.

Non-citizens may enlist, but cannot reenlist (extend their enlistment beyond their first term of service) unless they become naturalized U.S. citizens. However, after service of three years, additional residency requirements for citizenship can be waived. The Military does not assist in immigration naturalization process.

For enlistment purposes, the United States includes Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, The Northern Marianas Islands, American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands. Citizens of certain countries may require a waiver to enlist. These include citizens of countries considered hostile to the interests of the United States. For more specific information on the current list of hostile countries, or for other specific questions, contact a recruiter.

Yes, as long as your 18 and can pass the test and physical and after being Honorably discharged you will become a citizen of the USA

Yes it is possible I was a Canadian citizen with a green card and I joined in 2002. You will be able to get citizenship a lot faster in the military too. The only disadvantage is you can't do a lot of jobs requiring security clearance. Go in undesignated so once you get citizenship you can choose a job you were ineligible for as a resident alien, if you are certain you want to join the Navy. Good Luck!

If you have a green card, then yes - you can join. My husband had a green card and was not a citizen and he joined the Marines. Not only can you joing, but being in military service automatically qualifies you for citizenship and the process is easier.

I think so.


keltillos
When I was in the Navy in 1988-1992, I had a friend who was a British subject, and worked with a man who was a citizen of some country in Africa. So, yes, it is possible. Contact either the US consulate in your country or the nearest US Navy recruiting office. There is probably extra paperwork involved.


Charles c
yes you can join and after 2 years of service you will gain citizenship but you must me eligible physically and you will have to do some immigration type paperwork first
