What? How does that work?

 

Last I checked, from CGC you have to go through ROC, and then have the standard green card with standard timelines for citizenship.

Oh it works only if he make an oath to serve the USA. Meaning joining the military or national guard. 

 

He would get his citizenship within 10weeks after he complete his training 

 

it says " If you enlist in the U.S. armed forces during wartime, you can apply for U.S. citizenship after as early as your first day of service. (See I.N.A. Section 329, 8 U.S.C. Section 1440.)"

US is not at war.

 

You can speed up the transition to USC from GC through serving in the military, but that would require 1 year wait post-GC approval.

Trust me they are at war right now, Mr. president haven't withdraw anyone or stop deployment as yet. No i had same problem as him.  The military would only require him to have atleast 6 months left on his green card (Conditional) the process starts as soon as he goto training. Pretty easy way, and when he finish training (if he did the documents and got transitioned while training) he will have his citizenship after his 10 weeks of training or during. 

 

and yes that what you said is sorta a better term, but still is war. So pretty much "the war" part doesnt necessarily mean anything, pretty much just doing service gives him the benefit of being a citizen. Really easy.

 

Thats the only option i could say that he could use to save himself from deportation or what not.

No, you are not understanding what "at war" means.

 

The last time US was at war was Vietnam, when an active draft was instituted.

 

Just because US is involved in certain war zones does not make the country "at war".

Regardless, US citizenship is expedited for military members.  Pretty sure that only the Army will let you join on a 2 year card though?  Maybe the Navy as long as youre still married? The Air Force does not.  Not sure about Marines.

Last year, and I am assuming this year (although not open yet) you can join the Army through MAVNI, which means through a non-immigrant visa (e.g. O, F, M) straight to citizenship, skipping the Green Card process altogether.
