"Army Recruiter's main job is to get you in the army by any means. ." With this statement I meant recruiter wont discourage you not to join Army. Point what ych003 made was you will be deployed if you join this program. That is not true once your DHS is approved. ARMY recruitement treat you as regular enlistee. And then you have to go through all the process and procedures as a regular enlistee do in US.

After your trainings you will be assigned to a unit based on that MOS you choose and who needs based on your MOS. Plus Army ask you to fill a list of station you want to go and it is 100% that you will be assigned to first 10 stations you filled up in that case. But if you are in a MOS and the unit that is needed in unstable country then you have to go. But that does not mean if you are a utility speciality will go for infantry. You will working on the base which would be far away from the battlefield. But if you are in armor, infantary etc then you have to do your job on field.

Then why they have enlisted the languages in the first creteria, the whole thing cannot be so wrong !!!

(2) For those who have bachelor degree or above, you will be an officer ONLY when you are younger than 29 years old limit. If you are 28 years old in 2009, and you get your citizenship in 2010, then you are no longer eligable to be an officer.

That means they will never ever be officer, and will remain to be be junior for rest of the service, even if they have appropriate qualification.? Can you please quote the origin of this information.

When I was told the truth by this Commender, I was stuned for a while and felt like being cheated. My suggest is that do not believe everything the recruiters say. Ask them to put promises in words by writing. This is an advice that an Navy Attorney offered. Good luck, folks! Citizenship is attractive, but nothing is free ...

[COLOR="red"Did you asked your recruiter to give you in contract , and he said NO. [/color]

Hey mavninovice

I sent you a PM.

Hi Manvi voice,
I have recently heard about the MAVNI program. I am on F1 status with OPT.
I am very much interested in MAVNI and would appreciate if you could help me in contacting the recruiter.

Then one of my friend told me about a recruiter and I got his number and mentioned that my friend gave you his number and talked to him. He asked me to mail copy of my degree, transcripts, SSN, DL, I-94 for department of homeland security approval.

Meanwhile I met him once personaly in LA. It took 2days for my DHS approval and then I went there for 3 days for language test, physical and ASVAB test. Once you clear all those they will show you the list of job that you are eligible. select the job, sign the contract and take the oath.

That is all. I cannot put the recruiter phone number on the forum. Because I have his cell number and I dont want to advertise. But if you are really interested I can help you either give your number to him or his number to you. Send me a private message. I want to help others because I received a help from this forum

while I was ready some threads regarding MAVNI some people were posting their own opinion instead of the reality. That is why I started this thread and I want to help those who wants to knw the reality and make a decision. Let me know if you are interested and pursue this option.

Good Luck!
