Is it possible for the U.S. Army to recruit someone who has an EB-5 green card?

Obtaining a green card through the EB-5 visa grants the investor permanent resident status in the United States, including rights similar to other green card holders, such as applying for public and private sector jobs.

Permanent residents, regardless of category, can enlist to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, provided they meet requirements such as physical tests and fitness for service.

However, certain military positions require U.S. citizenship, especially those related to national security. Therefore, naturalization may be necessary.

It is recommended to strictly follow immigration laws and consult official sources for safe and informed decisions.
