I am an F1 student enlisted through the United States Army's Military Accession Vital to National Interests (MAVNI) program like many other people.
The MAVNI program allows non-citizens, legal immigrants and DACA members, who fluently speak one of the several critical languages to serve this great country and give them a path to citizenship in exchange for the time in service in the Army.
Though I have not been to Initial entry training yet, I have been drilling with my unit and participating in couple training for about 8 months now. This is due to delays in shipping date of indefinite duration of time that only the USAREC could handle.
My commander at my unit has been asking me if I could apply for citizenship under INA 329 but I was not sure if that applies to me so I would like to ask for guidance here if possible.
