Today, United States and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a fact sheet on the naturalization process for members serving in the military. Individuals who serve in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, certain components of the National Guard and the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve may be eligible for expedited naturalization.
The fact sheet, Naturalization process for the military, specifies the requirements for naturalization in peace time and in war time. It also contains information on the documents an applicant needs to submit in order to apply for naturalization.
Also of interest are the statistics on the number of military personnel naturalized. For instance, since 2001, USCIS has naturalized 45,019 service men and women serving both in and outside of the United States. In addition, USCIS has granted posthumous citizenship to 188 members of the U.S. Armed forces since September 2002. There are additional statistics available on the fact sheet such as naturalization by country of origin.
It is nice to have all the information about military naturalization in one place.
