The Beacon: USCIS' Official Blog

The Beacon is USCIS' Official Blog. You can subscribe to it to get the latest news and info on immigration forms, filing fees, deadlines for applications etc.

The latest post has photos of the naturalization ceremony conducted in Afghanistan for U.S. military personnel.

I am sometimes asked if you can get a (quicker) path to citizenship if you sign up for the Army. There are certain special provisions made to make it smoother and in some cases quicker for military personnel to acquire citizenship as well as extending immigration benefits to the spouse and children of a deceased military personnel. By the same token, dishonorable discharge and other conditions may bar or revoke citizenship. More information can be found on the USCIS facsheet on naturalization of military personnel, here.
