Is it true that you can become a citizen by joining the army?

please give me all the info you have on thisIs it true that you can become a citizen by joining the army?
Joining the Army will allow you to apply for expidited citizenship and waives application fees. But you still have to meet all of the other requirements for your application. Also, you have to be a Permanent Resident that currently lives in the US to join.





The military is doing a trial where they are allowing up to 1000 immigrants who are legally in the US right now to join this year if they have critical skills the military needs (medical, critical languages like Arabic) but other than that you can't come in without a green card.Is it true that you can become a citizen by joining the army?
No. Military service will not make you a citizen on the spot, but it will help with it on the road to becoming on. When I was in Iraq there were a couple of nationalization services for the troops that did become citizens while serving. Good luck on becoming a citizen and with the Army.
No. Military service does not automatically make you a citizen. In fact, if you are NOT a US citizen, you can only serve in the US military for a certain amount of time; I think it's 6 years, but I'm not sure.





But no, joining the US military does not grant you citizenship.
If you're in France, yes. It's called the French Foreign legion. If you're in the United States, no. For more info see this article that appeared in last weekend's NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/us/15i鈥?/a>
Yes. If you are a green card holder, now you can apply for citizenship on the first day of active duty and receive the citizenship within 6 months (that's what a friend who's interested in the service told me).
You have to have a green card to join the military. But being in the military does accelerate the citizenship process.
