As was previous reported on this blog, the United States recently began to recruit nonimmigrants into the military in an attempt to fill critical-need positions. Last week the New York Times reported about the first of these recruits to be inducted into the military. Judging from the article, the program appears to be a success. Over four thousand nonimmigrants have applied for the program and, so far, fifty-two nonimmigrants have enlisted. Of those fifty -two recruits: 11 have master’s degrees, 31 have bachelor’s degrees, and four have associate degrees.
Congratulations to all. Those fifty-two recruits will soon be eligible for naturalization and the United States has fifty-two new protectors.
