Ensign 0 Posted October 11, 2012 So I just came back from the recruitment office for the Airforce and the officer told me that they werent going to be accepting any enlistings from DACA I found it kind of strange and she seemed kinda iffy about the topic and wasnt to aware can anyone verify this for me?

pswa83 302 Posted October 11, 2012 i would go to another recruiting office and see what they say. if she sounded iffy then it wouldnt hurt to ask someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ensign 0 Posted October 12, 2012 I asked her if she was going based off information from the past and she said she needed to have a green card becaouse the goverment wouldnt accept it. So I asked her if she knew any information based off of daca and all she said was no and that she didnt even know that it had passed............ -______- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted October 12, 2012 As far as I'm concerned, only U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents may join the Military. We would be able to join with the Dream Act, but not with DACA. DACA does not give us Legal Status, we are still here illegally, we just have Legal Presence for 2 years. It's basically like being here with a VISA, but with permission to work.

itzel 336 Posted October 12, 2012 I agree with Jose and this question has been brough up before on the forum. The answer is "No". Heres the link: http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/17-deferred-action-faq/page__hl__military Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ensign 0 Posted October 12, 2012 How would i apply through the dream act? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnJR 39 Posted October 12, 2012 I also had this question, but supposedly all the military branches require you to at least be a resident. Even though their website say it, it doesn't hurt to go and ask them directly which is what I'm planning to do, you never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted October 12, 2012 How would i apply through the dream act? The Dream Act bill hasn't been introduced yet. If it passes, we would have a path to Citizenship and we would be able to join the Military, but until then, we just need to stick with DACA and hope that Obama gets re-elected and the Dream Act bill passes.

Erik 5 Posted December 22, 2012 The only thing that you will be able to do right now relating to enlisting in the armed forces is taking the asvab since you only need a SSN & DL ASVAB score is good for 2 years so you'll have 2 years to get your green card.
