MAVNI direct citizenship military program - Page 3

Well it looked exactly the same as a sheet from the previous MAVNI. Sucks that DACA are not included. Maybe we can hope for an EO after elections?

Guys, let me tell you - I signed up for MAVNI and I was contacted recently about it and had to fill out a questionnaire. After I submitted the answers, the guy messaged me back saying I wasn't qualified because I don't speak another language D:

So it looks like they are still recruiting people that are qualified, just on the down low!

Interesting they are keeping it open, discreetly.

I qualify the program, but I'm a bit annoyed that they dont have my health profession listed in the Officer pilot section, which would've been wonderful. Which means I have to go in as one of the enlisted jobs, then put in a request for transfer to Captain position in the Air Force once I am citizen in like a month. Pain in the ass.

How did you sign up? What documents do they require and did you tell them you were DACA? Are you sure you didnt qualify due to language or he was being nice?

What he means in "signing up" is that he basically filled out his information on the website and they contacted him (via email/phone or something). You can do that too if you wanted. Just go on their website.

i know some people that enrolled in the military as undocumented, but this happened when troops were being deployed by the bucket load to the middle east. I guess all depends how you talked to the recruiting officer and how well you sell yourself.

DACAs are not eligible to enlist in the US military (yet). The Pentagon has to authorize the DACAs to enlist, and that has not happened yet. MAVNI requires a person to be in a lawful status for at least two years on the date of enlistment, and by the time any DACA has two years of legal status, MAVNI will be closed again (it is only open now temporarily for two years, until September 30, 2014). Also, "deferred action" is not a status that allows for a MAVNI enlistment. You will hear a lot of wrong information from military recruiters; the Marines especially seem confused about DACAs. But every military recruit now has to undergo a DHS check before enlistment, and DHS is not supposed to approve any DACAs to enlist. Here is an accurate article that discusses the situation of DACAs: http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/poli...XbO/story.html
