Will my citizenship be revoked if I fail AIT after basic training?
Anonymous2 views3 answers
I enlisted in US Army Reserve through MAVNI program (which allows enlist of DACA people).
I got my citizenship during the basic training and now I am failing two AIT courses. So I guess Army will discharge/separate me.
If this is the case, what type of discharge will I receive and how it will affect on my citizenship??
If it will revoke my citizenship, is their any way to upgrade my discharge and protect my citizenship? I have been keeping a clean record since I was a DACA person.
In general your NATZ may be revoked if you receive a dishonorable discharge. The exception is if you have 5 years of service prior to the discharge.
Other general rules apply; If it is found that you committed fraud to obtain your status or deliberately failed the courses your NATZ may be revoked.
For specific application of the law to your situation I suggest you speak with a Judge Advocate on base.
That is a complicated issue. It depends on whether it seems that you deliberately failed the courses, if fraud is suspected, if you get a dishonorable discharge. The type of discharge depends on the army and cannot be answered by immigration attorneys.
