Can a documented illegal alien join the US army?

Answer 1

no! you have to be a permanent resident or a united states citizen.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ incorrect.yes. illegal immigrants can apply to join any of the armed forces. that's the only way an illegal immigrant can become a U.S. legal citizen. there will be many racist people that tell you not to join...but IT IS POSSIBLE. .....how do i know? im a marine....well not yet...but i have been accepted...and will start training this summer...

No, illegal immigrants are not eligible to join any branch of service. However, non citizen legal immigrants can join but are limited to rolls as non-commissioned officers. Non citizens who serve, are eligible for a fast track to naturalization (the process to become US citizens).

If an illegal immigrant is serving in the US Military they are doing so with a stolen identity or another method of fraud.

This is incorrect and misleading. The USA military will allow immigrants with a green card or visa to join the military and get fast tracked to citizenship . The key words here are: visa and green card. An illegal does not have visas or Green Cards that is why they are called illegals. Only an immigrant that is legal (with visa) can get fast tracked.

Call a navy recruiter if you meet the requirements below:

To verify your eligibility to enlist, contact a recruiter.
