Immigration Agency Naturalizes 98 Armed Forces Service Members In Afghanistan

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HRWhMHjjnjg/TV7hP4EvLDI/AAAAAAAAAhc/OcxvD5keYZs/s1600/Afghanistan2.jpgThe USCIS recently highlighted a naturalization ceremony it performed for 98 service members who are currently deployed to Afghanistan.   The USCIS performed the ceremony with immigration officials from its Bangkok Field Office.

Normally, a person seeking to naturalize must be a permanent resident of the United States and must have been in the United States for a specified amount of time.  However, the requirements for naturalization are relaxed for service member.   In fact, most foreign nationals who are in the armed forces are eligible for naturalization.

If you are in the armed forces, and believe you are eligible to naturalize, please contact a naturalization lawyer to ensure you are eligible, and to ensure you are not wrongly denied a naturalization petition.
