As part of Military Appreciation Month this May, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) held a naturalization ceremony at Recruit Training Command, in Great Lakes, Illinois, where 54 US Navy sailors became a #NewUSCitizen. Congratulations to all the new citizens! Your dedication and commitment to serving our country are truly commendable.
May is designated as National Military Appreciation Month to recognize and honor all U.S. service members – including active military members and former service members who are not United States citizens. Here are three facts about immigrants in the military.
Naturalization to become a U.S. Citizen can bring many rights and privileges, such as voting in elections and becoming eligible for certain government jobs. United States citizenship also has financial benefits and protections. Understanding all the rights and responsibilities associated with becoming a United States citizen is important before applying for naturalization.
