Is there any way to join?

Question

Is there any way to join the US armed forces without having a green card?

I've heard stories of people applying for green cards while here illegally and getting some sort of a number that they give to recruiters and it allows them to enlist why applying for a green card.

what are some ways a illegal immigrant can join?

legally of course.

please no racist comments

thank you for taking time to read and answer!

Answer 1

In order to join the US armed forces you need to be a permanent resident or a US citizen. You cannot join if you are illegal, or here on a visa. The Armed forces may help speed up the process from Resident to citizen in some cases, but the advice that you can join if you are illegal and they will somehow try to help you become legal is false.

Answer 2

They don't hire illegal immigrates necessarily but they speed up the process of legalization if you do join, and they will work with you to help you become legalized if you serve a specific amount of time. When it comes to hiring or enlisting illegals, I'm not 100% sure what they do, I don't believe so but I don't have solid evidence that they don't.
