#NewUSCitizens During Military Appreciation Month

#NewUSCitizens During Military Appreciation Month

In recognition of Military Appreciation Month, 21 service members became #NewUSCitizens in May. Since 2002, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services(USCIS) has naturalized more than 170,000 members of the U.S. military, both at home and abroad. 

 

May Is Military Appreciation Month

Thank you to all who have answered the call to serve our country and defend our freedom. Military Appreciation is dedicated to honoring and acknowledging the service of our armed forces, both past and present.

Many foreign-born U.S. military members are unaware of the benefits they are entitled to or have been denied benefits they earned through their service to our country, including naturalization. Naturalization is the formal process of becoming a U.S. citizen.

  • Serving in the U.S. military opens doors to special immigration benefits for immigrant service members, including accelerated paths to naturalization.
  • These exclusive benefits extend beyond the service member, potentially also applying to their foreign-born spouse and children.
  • These benefits may apply to active military members and former U.S. service members and their families.
