Ex-military Cadet But Did Not Divulge Identity

[yogi bear 0]

Sometime when I was 18 years old I attended a premiere military school in Asia but I resigned for the good of the service after four months of training when I was found cheating in academics. I did not divulge this in my adjustment application process at age 34 from being a tourist to a resident by virtue of being married to a US citizen. I marked "no" anything that involved in military stuff like military training, weapons training, etc. Luckily my application was granted in 2011. In the middle of 2013 I will have to lift my condition as conditional resident. Was my denial of military training the right thing to do? What if I plan to pursue a career in US military later on; will it be a red flag? I need help please.

Was your denial a good idea? Was lying to the US government a good idea?

I'm going to go ahead and say no, it wasn't a good idea.

Did you have weapons training?

Good luck

It was definitely not the right thing to do. I doubt they would take away your greencard if they found out, unless you came under the radar of law enforcement.

They are not going to ask you regarding your military training on the I-751, but if you do get interviewed, you must be honest about it if asked.

But they will ask you this on the N-400 (Part 6 B)and Question 23.

What exactly was this military school?

Ie did you just wear a uniform and do drills, or did you learn how to shoot, were you officially part of the military?

Yes, I had weapons training. Please see below the list of descriptive title of courses I took up when I was in the military school. One of them was weapons training.

Canadian wife, please tell me what to do? I need your help.

Philippine Military Academy, the Cadet Corp Armed Forces of the Philippines, was the military school I got into. I learned how to shoot the M-14 and M-16 rifles.
