As the diversity of the military changes, an increasing number of active-duty service members must address immigration legal matters within their immediate families. You may not be aware that lawful permanent residents may apply for naturalization based on their military service.
Military OneSource is your guide for resources to assist with matters such as immigration, citizenship and the naturalization process, as well as language interpretation and document translations.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association Military Assistance Program provides free immigration legal services to service members and their family members whose legal matters may be complex and require the knowledge of experienced immigration attorneys.
