TPS and refugees are included too, idk if us are eligible to apply too? Anyone heard of this before?

Re: MAVNI direct citizenship military program
 

Yes we have, the program is currently closed, unknown if they will allow daca recipients in.

Anyways, not news.

The Pentagon covered the skills shortage during that time period and currently the US is winding down the wars so I am not sure if there is any reason to re-open the program in the short term.

I've read up on it and I'm pretty sure it requires that we have been here legally for at least 2 yrs or something. And it also requires you to speak a native language. Since most of you here just speak spanish, and since spanish isn't listed as a qualifying language, most of you don't qualify anyways. Just my two cents.

The program's actually open since May last I heard. The thing is that it's so selective that we're not likely to hear from many people who get in. It's worth a shot checking if DACA recipients could qualify two years from now (since Rev_Scholar is right about the 2 year legal status requirement).

Ok,Just did some more checking via google and the program has been closed since last year Dec. 2011 BUT there is a rumor that the program has been reinstated since Sept. 27th,2012 and have yet to be announced by the Pentagon.

It should be interesting if they list DACA applicants as being eligbile for the MAVNI process.

No the reason why I brought this up is because on the news today they reopen the program

Not sure. Anyway. Best way to find out is to inquire with a recruiter from the Army, Navy, or Air Force. Army's probs your best bet.
