Hi all, I am currently a permanent resident of the US looking into joining the Air Force National Guard, however my Permanent Resident Card is conditional and expires in 2 years, I learned from a recruiter that people holding a "Green card" are eligible to join the military but that the card must not expire within 2 years from the date you enlist. That being said I would like to know if there is any waiver to extend my green card validity period in order for me to join the ANG or if there is any type of waiver that allows me to do so holding the 2 years conditional green card. In 2 years I'll get my 10 years green card, and in 3 years I am going to be eligible for US Citizenship, but I am 25 years old and I want to start a career now, hopefully with the ANG. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

* Love conquers all *

Hi there

My hubby's on recruiting duty with the Army duty at the moment, he says it has to be a 10 year GC with no waiver that he is aware of for this.
