How can an immigrant sign up or enlist to be in the US Army? what are the requirements that must be met?
You can join the US Military as a non-citizen, but there are some extra requirements that you may have to complete. There also may be some restrictions as a non-citizen. The basic requirements for enlisting if you are a non-citizen include having a current and valid permanent resident card (green card), currently living in the United States and having the ability to speak, read and write English fluently.
Yes, under specific situations. There is, for instance, a pilot program for highly educated professionals with fluency in certain languages to enlist in certain critical needs fields, a good friend of mine did this, as a Ph.D. candidate in biochemistry, who spoke fluent Polish; she enlisted into the program and was granted citizenship 1 year after her enlistment.
