First I would like to state I am only 32 yrs old, in case the word "veteran" makes you think I'm old hehe :)

Anyways, I served in the Marines as an infantry for 4 years, I went to Iraq twice, and got all kind of good medals, I'm also receiving VA benefits, and I am trying to Bring my gf to be with me to get married.

My question is simple, does the USCIS takes any special consideration to veterans, does the process is quicker, and easier or is it the same for everyone?

If it is the same, that is okay, I was only wondering.

Ps" as a second question, I might also get a job working for the US Government, will that help as well?( please answer this as a second question, since I'm not sure yet, it all depends if money is good)

Thank you in advance!

Nothing for Veterans - active duty can get expedited in some cases, but not separated or retired. Working for the government doesn't do anything for you either. Ask me how I know the answers to these questions lol.

Thank you for your service to our country. :thumbs:

I do not believe that there is any special consideration for war veterans. Here is the USCIS link about US Military personnel.

Good luck on your visa journey.
