No, even before then. You don’t start drilling with your respective unit until after you finish BCT and AIT. RSP is before BCT and AIT and it is not with your respective unit. 

Ok, after looking at this then this is basically what happened when I was in. They just called it something diffrerent then because you could actually drill with your respective unit back then.

Trying this too,  I think I need my plastic green card tho. I only have the stamp as of right now.

Cause theres no other thread I'll say this now in case anyone else comes into the USA and wonders this too;

 

Went into the recruiters yesterday. They said the stamp was fine all they needed was the registration number on your i-551 to verify that you're legally here. I told him my plastic one is coming soon, told the chief at the station the same and they made a call and they were told it was good. Going to MEPs next Wednesday!

Congratulations and good luck. After youre finished, do you mind posting your experience at MEPs? Also, what state are you enlisting from?

Gotta get a waiver... recruiter said it'll take like 2 weeks then I'll get rescheduled for MEPS, he said it's fine anyway cause going to MEPS with the i-551 stamp could be risky...

 

But take it in mind how easy it is. I walked into the recruiters office and I was scheduled in 3 hours lol

Thats funny.. especially after the fact that the house just voted to legalize marijuana. I hope you get the waiver with no problems. By the time youre finished with the whole process theres a chance it could be legal federally lol.

Any one know if naturalizing as described above, do we need to file removal of conditions if we file the N400 first?

You do not. See Section C-1 on the link below. 

 

“Accordingly, CPRs who are filing on the basis of such qualifying military service are not required to file a petition to remove conditions and may be naturalized without the removal of conditions from their permanent resident status.”

Thats great. I tried to google search it, i guess i was using the wrong words. The only thing that kept pulling up was "can i file n400 with pending I751" lol. Hopefully none of this changes by the time im eligible haha.

The problem I guess would be if your conditional residence expires before your citizenship was approved.

Per the sentence you shared, can still naturalize in that case: "and may be naturalized without the removal of conditions from their permanent resident status."

 

Would still be LPR after 2-year GC expires. Only an Immigration Judge can revoke LPR status.

 

But the LPR wouldn't have proof of that status.

I doubt it. Mitch McConnell already  said it is dead on arrival.

You go to MEPS and get a ship-date yet bro? I signed my contract for the Navy yesterday, shipping in March.
