Nearly 20% of the United States Army during WWI was foreign-born. Congress rewarded their service by creating a faster way for immigrant service members to become #NewUSCitizens, which allowed more than 300,000 WWI soldiers and veterans to become citizens.
Immigrant service members have been integral to keeping America safe and strong throughout our nation’s history. From the Revolutionary War to the present, immigrants have served and sacrificed for our country. Many foreign born military members are proud Americans. And are an important part of the diversity that makes up the United States.
A foreign born US military member and former service member who is not a United States citizen is entitled to certain benefits in appreciation of their service. Due to their military service, immigrant military service members have special immigration law benefits – including naturalization benefits.
