You must register.  \n\nThere is no draft at this time so you don't have to worry.

Ignore that hate monger.  I knew a lot of people when I was in the military that were Mexican citizens.  They were able to apply for citizinship faster.  I went to boot camp in the United states Marine Corps with some of them.  Look into military service.

no.... but.... You're someone who has no intention of ever being part of the military; you've ignored the recruiters, despite repeated phone calls and subtle pressure from school guidance counselors. Why, you may ask, should you then register -- and put your name in line for a future, massive military action?\n\nYou're violating the law, although you're not likely to be prosecuted.\nOne reason, of course, is that it's the law. Failure to register is a federal offense: if prosecuted and convicted, you could face up to five years' imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. (Actual published sentencing guidelines are much less). If you refuse to register with Selective Service, you'll receive threatening letters, at first politely reminding you to register, then threatening prosecution, finally informing you that your name has been turned over to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. These sound scary, but they're mostly bluff. No one has actually been formally charged since 1986.\n\nIn the early 1980s, 21 young men were indicted for refusal to register: 19 of those 21 were public resisters. Wherever there were trials, the rates of registration actually went down. This resistance halted prosecutions.\n\nYou become ineligible for federal aid.\nSince prosecutions didn't work, the same "patriotic" politicians that keep Selective Service in business came up with more insidious ways to ensure compliance. If you don't register, you become ineligible for federal student aid, federal job training or civil service employment (anywhere from the Post Office to the Park Service). In some states you can't get state aid or even, as in Colorado, attend state colleges

Nope.  It is the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 212(a)(7)(a)(i) - Documentation requirements.\n\ni.e. people without valid unexpired documents are INADMISSIBLE.  Section 212 of the INA deals with aliens who are inadmissible and some waivers in some cases.  Go to the official US citizenship and Immigration Services web page and you can pull up the full text of the law you are looking for.  Good luck!

I wouldn't AUTOMATICALLY assume yourself disqualified.  I would contact a recruiter and discuss your situation, because military entrace requirements vary depending upon the needs of the force.

I don't know if they are grandfathered into the law.  Immigration laws have changed since 9/11/01.  Usually for an illegal alien to married to a citizen I know they have to be married for at least 5 yrs before that person can get perm. resident status.  There are hefty fines for coming into the USA illegally. I think once they have perm resident status then they can go through the process to become a citizen.  It also depends on the situation on why that person came here in the first place.  Sometimes if their country is not safe and they come here illegally, they still have to pay fines, but they are not as harsh when trying to go through the process.  Maybe you can go to the website and read up on the information for your friend.

You won't have to run to Canada, just claim yourself a Conscientious objector and you're clear.  The link I added is Mr. Rangles original HR resolution he submitted.  There are few exemptions, those being objector and health reasons, but then they will make you do civilian work.  This includes all men and women including those in college (can't hide there this time).  Truthfully I don't believe he wants a draft, but what if his new resolution passes and the passes by senate?  You will all have to do your time.  Read his resolution that was submitted once already and understand what is going on.\n\nOne last thing, if you served previously, they don't have to draft you.  Read your enlistment papers they can just reactivate you if needed.  We aren't excempt from this my friend.

They are asking if you are willing to fight for your country.\n\nIf you are not, then you are welcome to relocate.

I don't know if you have prefential treatment just because your grandfather was a member of the government.  I would think you would have to go through the same paperwork as everyone else.\n\ncheck out the governments website, I remember reading something about military and government workers but I don't think it pertained to family in the government,  just the applicants.\n\nall you can do is ask....

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

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.
