joining the military with a fake green card?
397937
If you are trying to get a green card by joining be upfront with the recruiter out of your area.   See what they say & if you feel going in is still worth the risk go back to your area and do it.

I don't think any illegals would just go there and enlist if they may get busted and taken out, but at this time there is something like that for people that enlisted and served the armed forces in previous wars by lying to the government about their immigration status... it was possible at that time cause the tracking system wasn't as good as it is know and soldiers where needed, but I assure you that many will go and fight for the country if you just give them resident status, citizenship won't even be necessary...

If there are any at all, their fake documents are very very good, and they have balls of steel.\n\nMore likely, the army would help them get legal residence.\n\nIn any event, if there were any, I'm for making them legal.

If you become a citizen then you can join.  I'm not sure if you'd have to give up your US citizenship or not, but I wouldn't think so.  The JSDF was started with the help of the US, so you'll find the structure and uniforms very similar to ours.  You'll also have to decide on which branch you'd want to go into.  Just remember that you're still considered a citizen over there and not a member of a standard military.

in order to enlist in any branch of the US military, you must already be a permanent legal resident, IE Green Card Holder.    The military cannot assist you in obtaining a Green card.    If you have no one already in the US willing to sponsor you, you will have to try and get over here on your own.  Once you have established permanent residency, you may enlist, but you may not be an officer nor hold any jobs requiring a Clearance.  The good news is that the Residency requirements for ciotizenship are waived or greatly reduced once you have enlisted.

The military is no longer accepting packages or letters addressed to generic Soliders/Sailors/Airmen/Marines.  You MUST Have a full name and address.\n\nYour best bet is to adopt a  Unit, possibly from a nearby base or Reserve unit, and use the Rear Det(person left behind to run interferance) as your liason.  They can also provide you with wish lists as well as alist of prohibited items.  Many Lgions and VFW posts have also adopted units, so you can also check there to see if they have any extra people who could use a pick me up.

Just wanted to clarify that you can only serve in the military once you have a permanent resident status, Military service can help you become a citizen faster. Not any foreigner can just serve in the military.\n\nYou mother needs to file an I-130 only ,once it is aprooved you must wait for your number to come. Right now there is a 7 year waiting period.... after that another 5 years to become a citizen... a long way indeed...\n\nYou can not adjust your status until your number comes... if you are in the US right now, you must leave when your current status expires ... otherwise you will become illegal...\n\nThere is some hope ,however, Bush introduced a special kind of visa for people that waited at least 3-4 years ( I belive) for their number. This visa allows them to come to the USA to live and work while waiting for their number...\n\nhope this helps\n\nPS. In case you don't know what I mean by the number, post a question and I will explain

Even then, depending on the branch he is leaving for, it doesn’t happen overnight.  Within his first week at boot camp he will go through ID card issue.  Make sure he takes a copy of your marriage certificate with him.  It should already be in his record at MEPS, but I would take a copy anyway (same for kids birth certs).  The link to the form (above) will need to be signed by him before he ships.  Once he completes the ID card issue at boot camp your family will be enrolled in D.E.E.R.S system.  You can then take the DD Form 1172 that he signed to any military base, i.e. Navy Reserve Centers, Army NG bases in your city and get your ID card.

NO! Absolutely not! If you don't believe me you can go to www.uscis.gov or call the INS' customer service line and speak with an INS agent. I used to think the same thing. I've been in the states for 29 years. I am married with little US citizens of my own. I found out that because I've had my greencard for so long that I can not become a citizen through marriage and it doesn't even remotely help. He has to file a N-400, which is the naturalization for citizenship form. Mail it with all necessary copies, signatures, and payment of fees (which keeps increasing). Make sure that you send it CERTIFIED MAIL. Wait for the approval and then the examinations date. Study and take the test. Then wait to be sworn it and then after all is said and sworn...he'll be a citizen. Is it worth it? Yes, because there is so much US citizens take for granted!! Take care.

If you refuse to register, it will hurt you for future employment (you can not register after the age of 26) due to many employers requiring proof of registration. Immigrants that do not register while processing for citizenship will not be granted citizenship. You can be refused federal grants, loans (including student loans) and can also interfere with purchasing a home. It is a misdemeanor offense in most states, a felony in some.\n\nI don't know why anyone would worry about it. There is no draft, and probably won't be, unless the protesters stop people from enlisting.

If he wants to apply for a Japanese citizenship first.  Here in the US an immigrant, legal immigrant, can join the US military without being a US citizen.  I was led to believe that it is so as long as the non-citizen declares his intentions to become one although I have known non US citizens who served in the US military and got out of the service without getting US citizenship.

Absolutly.  Non-Citizens can join the US Armed Forces.  However, their security clearance and job opprotunities will be restricted (I don't think the Navy will let them run nuke reactors on its ships and so on).  They must gain citizenship to be most NCO ranks (I knew one who was an E-5 working on his naturalization) and all officers must be citizens.

gone are the days when PI Nationals could enlist in the Navy.  Nowadays, you must be a Legal permanent resident of the US with a Green card.  \n\nWhen Pintabo blew and we abandoned Subic Bay, we also ended our agreement with the PI to offer limited opportunities to PI Nationals to enlist without having to be permanent residents.

You don't have to be a citizen to join the military, but you do have to be a legal resident.  The best thing to do is talk to the visa section at the American Consulate in what ever country you live.\n\nThe first soldier killed in Iraq was not an undocumented alien.  \n\nLOS ANGELES — One of the first U.S. servicemen killed in combat in Iraq was not a citizen of the country for which he sacrificed his life.\n\nLance Cpl. Jose Gutierrez, 22, a rifleman with the Marines, died in a firefight March 21 near Umm Qasr. \n\nBorn in Guatemala, Gutierrez held permanent U.S. resident status, which he obtained in 1999. \n\n\nThere have been several legal aliens killed in Iraq which were given citizenship after they were killed.

You would need to go to the nearest military installation (I know Fort Sill is in OK, not sure where it is in relation to you though). Since you do not have a military ID, you will need to get a visitor's pass to get through the gate - this will require checking in at an office with your driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Once in the gates you need to head to the DEERS office. (It stands for Defense Eligibility Enrollment and Registration System, or something similar to that.) You will need proof of your relationship to the servicemember (birth certificate, marriage license, adoption papers, etc), your birth certificate, photo ID, and possibly other paperwork. I would try to call before you go and find out what you need related to your specific circumstances. You may also need to either have the servicemember with you or a have a power of attorney (at the office here they require a special DEERS power of attorney, stating that you are authorized to enroll the SM's dependants - some places may accept a general power of attorney).
