My advise to folks who go for Oath is NOT to apply for passport the same day as your Ceremony. There are nearly 4000 people who show up for the ceremony..... you can end up spending 2-3 hours to get your application in. I did not apply immediately and had the immediate statisfaction of...

Definately worth it; you have my best wishes. BTW, I think our Paralegal/Veteran friend has been grounded by the powers that be for a while; I think he was as funny as he was obnoxious. :)

Do you have access to Commisary? On your Military ID, do have the electronic chipset or is it "plain"? Just checking if you are real... if you are a veteran, my apologies.

Right, Gilbert :D

________________ american2003 Junior Member Registered: Apr 2003 Posts: 2 I should add that we did recruit people overseas in the past. But it stoped for for a long time. _______________________________ I am not sure if they stopped recruiting from abroad, but I do know they did recruit...

____________________ JoeF Interestingly enough, since he claimed to be a paralegal, I asked him to make this clear in his posts. So far, he just put the IANAL (I am not a lawyer) disclaimer in his posts ______________________________ Exactly, he claims he is a paralegal. And that is a...

Just came back from our weekend drill, and bumped into Petty Officer Takita Moro, US Navy. He was enlisted in Yokosuka US Naval Base in Japan while he was a Japanese national, not even a PR. Your claims below are wrong : ___________________ Gilbert : At this time, you MUST have at...

____________________ Gilbert: Yes unless you are sent to WP by a foreign govenment allied with the US. _____________________ And they are issued commisions by their goverments NOT US Goverment. You have to a US Citizen to a commisioned officer in US Military.

_______________________ I have postd over 700 messages here in the past two years but I never identified my employer because I do not solicit business on her behalf. I visit this board in my private time. ________________________ How about getting paid for some of that immense knowledge...

_________________________ if you are overseas helping the US military you are not considered to have been enlisted for purposes of the current immigration law. You are enlisted only in the United States. And you cannot enlisted unless you are a PR in the absence of a draft...

Oh, if you actually faught and died for USA, the Congress, at its discretion, may posthumously bestow US Citizenship on you. That has happened before. Otherwise, you will have to apply for Citizenship yourself. Congress will NOT do that for you :-)

I am a beneficiary of that Executive Order. I did not have to wait for 3 years to apply (as required, for military personnel) for my citizenship. That executive order, unfortunately, will not help a lot of military personnel to apply early for citizenship; it is only for those who are...

Good question. Navy and Marines do a lot of recruiting outside the US amongst those who are NOT even GCs ! That is right, you do not have to be a GC to be in the US military. And if you serve in the military in ACTIVE HOSTILITIES, you can apply for citizenship even without getting your GC. I...

All soldiers, when on duty, are bound by the Military Code (UCMJ) as opposed to the Civilian Code (USC). Military code takes precedence over civilian code, when there is a conflict. So, for example, while on military duty, if you break the speed limits on an Interstate, the state trooper...
