So My parents brought me here since I was 2 years Old, I'm now currently 17 years old. I want to join the Navy. But I Have the illegal immigrant status, due to my parents bringing me here since little. I have been here my whole entire life and I am thankful for living here. I speak and write perfect English, I have no accent, a lot of people don't believe That I am and immigrant, they all say "you act white". Anyways my question is that, can I join the navy if i don't have citizenship? and have been here for my whole life basically, I know all my history of the country, and know the pledge of allegiance, Etc. So would i have a problem Of joining The navy? Will I be able to get my citizenship? OK this is great Information, this has helped somewhat In my situation.

"when u get a GC call me" he said. my question is, has there ever been a situation where one enlisted with a social security even if they are not a citizen or hold a GC? hi, i came across the blog since i was looking for any info about non immigrants joining the army. i have been to about 9 recruiter who have all but two told me that i can’t. one was trying to have me enlisted because he said that i spoke a language that they were interested in then never called me back. the second recuiter told me to come in even after knowing that i didn’t have a GC but after the worst thing that happened was that the stamp on my passport was the wrong color. “when u get a GC call me” he said.

This is the best possible way to find out. Also, do you have a green card? US Citizenship? I would recommend visiting Army recruiting web site ( I think it is goarmy.com) and chat with a recruiter on-line. Best Regards Contact a recruiter. This is the best possible way to find out.

All recruits go through a regular recruiter. You talk about the Air Force and as it was mentioned before, they have very strict rules regarding enlistment of non-citizens. In general, everybody requires a GC and SS# to enlist a foreigner. However, on some immigration related forums, I saw posts where authors claimed that they were offered jobs with US Armed Forces without a GC. Is it true? I don't know because there is no way to check it. But keep trying, keep asking, and try different branches. (AF, Navy, Army, Marines, NG).You might have some luck (might) if you speak Middle Eastern languages. It is good to hear that you want to help. I do not think that they will need you as an infantry man, but as I said, languages might help. Basically, there isn’t ant specific office where you should apply.

At least I saw some materials which, recruiters used to give and it is written there that you will require a green card or be in the process of retrieving one. which means you will any way need an alien number or green card. but as far as I know, AF have quite strict rules about that, so having just A number won't work. They require a green card. that’s a good question :)
