Foreign-born recruits fast-track US citizenship through military service

English is not Pvt. Martin Jimenez’s native language. He admits this potential barrier made navigating Basic Combat Training (BCT) even more intimidating.
“At first, I was afraid that I would be separated from everyone else because I’m still learning English,” Jimenez said. “But a few weeks in, I blended in with everyone else. It’s been such an adventure for me.”
In September 2024, he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a 91B (wheeled vehicle mechanic) out of Upland, California, a city about 40 miles east of Los Angeles. However, leaving his job in construction wasn’t the only major change for the 29-year-old. Jimenez, who was once a permanent resident cardholder, is now a U.S. citizen. He joins the more than 187,000 foreign-born service members who have used military service as a pathway to citizenship since 2002.
In 2022, the Army reinstated the opportunity for Lawful Permanent Residents to apply for accelerated naturalization, giving enlistees like Jimenez a faster path to citizenship. In his case, the paperwork was processed while he was in BCT, with the application fee waived. The U.S. Air Force has a similar expedited naturalization process.
…….. Espinoza was Jimenez’s recruiter and was a firsthand example of the military’s path to citizenship. He and his mother immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico City when he was 8 years old. After completing high school and starting college under permanent resident card status, Espinoza saw how laborious and expensive the road to citizenship would be. Then the Army presented another option.
