Military Enlistment Path to Citizenship for Certain Long-Term Residents.
This law creates a pathway for specific non-citizens, including DACA and TPS recipients, who have resided in the U.S. for five years, to enlist in the Armed Forces. Honorable military service grants these individuals protection from deportation and streamlines their naturalization process. Crucially, the act establishes strict confidentiality rules preventing the use of application data for immigration enforcement.
Key points
Allows specific non-citizens (DACA, TPS, certain visa beneficiaries) with five years of U.S. presence to enlist, provided they pass standard security vetting.
Honorable service guarantees a stay of removal (deportation proceedings) while their citizenship application is pending.
Protects privacy: application information cannot be used for immigration enforcement, and records must be destroyed if enlistment is unsuccessful.
