Is your inquiry specific to those branches alone or does it include our states’ National Guard services? Either way...I don’t know but I would like to know.
Happens all the time.
Had an Egyptian that I served with (Related to the past 3 rulers) - uncles/cousin relationship.
My Drill instructor was from Canada.
My Survival and self defense trainer was a Green Beret from S. Korea.
Another that I went through basic was from China.
I met one guy from Taiwon that served in the Marines.
Get it from the horses’ mouth. Call the 1-800 number for Marine or Army Recruiting info line. I think they are manned by recruiters.
Before the budget cuts, it was fairly common to see green card holders having their citizenship accelerated through the military service, and I have seen cases of illegal aliens with some family ties in the US pay their fines and get straightened out through military service.
Unless he is one of those sought after rare or demanded language speakers the special forces would need, it would be nearly impossible, imo.
I know there are loopholes out there, there always are loopholes that lawyers know about - such as consultation visas and “unique technical or artistic talent” visas etc. In Korea they have, believe it or not, special offices helping South Koreans get to the US. It’s a whole industry, like travel industry, in some places.
Of course, our CIC is not interested in talent, just in people to exploit and turn his elections around.
I think you have to be Filipino.
“the standard visa lottery system”
That is actually known as the “diversity lottery”. It exists under the premise that America would be a better place if more random people from “diverse” places, NOT European countries came to America.
Europeans, Australians, Canadians, basically white people, need not apply.
The House is trying to ban this outrageous racist hate-crime of a “lottery”. Every reasonable person should write their congressman and demand they support that!
Just FYI I saw an article where Australia was desperate to recruit Americans for their armed forces - they are really understrength and they have trouble filling their billets because their economy is so good.
They are focusing on unique skills as well. Still, they may be looking worldwide for personnel.
