Guys why are you acting so naive?



I just had a cousin who was told they wont be recruiting them to middle east, as operations over their are decreasing


Guess what? Right after training they shipped her to middle east. They will put you on active training, I called these recruiters and then consulted, they are just lying about everything.

Stop being so desperate go back to India, work for a company and they take it from there. US army recruiters are subject to lying all the time.


Jaan hai to Jahaan hai.


If you want to fight, join Indian army, Don't fall for everything life offers, USE YOUR HEAD

Frankly, I am disgusted by your post. I usually tend not to waste my time replying to turds, but here, I felt like I had to.

We all have our own choices, and these people have made the honorable choice to join the US military and eventually become proud citizens of this great country. Mocking them, calling them naive, ridiculing their choice in life is disrespectful and uncalled for.

Oh, and there is no such thing as 'active training', it is 'active duty' that you refer to, and there is no question of recruiters luring recruits by withholding facts from them, the description for the MAVNI programs clearly states that language recruits have a 4 (or 5, one of the two) year active duty obligation. Applicants know this even before they apply/talk to a recruiter.

And whether someone should join the military in their home country instead of doing so in the US or not, is a VERY personal choice, none of us have the right to disrespect or question an individual's choice in such a matter.

MAVNIman, Ravneetsingh, derekjbj, darcons, and anyone else that is trying to join the military, I hope you succeed in doing so, you make us and this country proud.

I would like to personally express my gratitude to those that serve and protect this country in times of war and calamity.

Godspeed.

Listen to my you piece of CRAP who you calling a TURD?>


A holes like you push people to wrong choices.



Guys search google and see how many life's have been jeopardized with military

Guys please search on google about recruiters lying.


whoever this smart ass is, next time you want to comment about something, make sure you have facts right, if you want to comment go stand next to a pole and bark your stupidity.

Indians like you think they are smart and bark all day, let me guess you are one of the low life suckers in this country trying to teach everyone about joining military and risking their lives.

Guys do ample research and please speak to many recruiters, they are hiring only linguistics, active duty means you will be posted somewhere.


Good luck

I take major offense to that, i come from a family where 3 immediate relatives including my father are serving the Indian armed forces, putting their lives on line for the benefit of their fellow citizens.

If the OP's here want to join the US military and serve the country (as they will then be american citizens serving) there is nothing wrong

All you do is sit on that fat-ass of yours and tell people what they need to do or not, and then reap benefits for their sacrifice. shame on you

these people know they will be on active duty for a period of a few years, the MAVNI very clearly states that.

I suggest you stick to earning your dollars and green-card and let these guys do what they want.

okay, we're even

No, I don't, I respect people's choices and don't ridicule/question them. Please read my post again.

Every person in their right mind working for any type of law enforcement/defense agency knows that there is a certain amount of risk to life/limb involved. Nowhere in these posts will you find language that points to the posters' ignorance of this fact.

Guys please search on google about recruiters lying.

whoever this smart ass is, next time you want to comment about something, make sure you have facts right, if you want to comment go stand next to a pole and bark your stupidity.

?? To give you the benefit of doubt, I read my post again, twice, and couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Indians like you think they are smart and bark all day, let me guess you are one of the low life suckers in this country trying to teach everyone about joining military and risking their lives.

?? Sir, do you realize how empty your argument is? Actually, it isn't even an argument, it is an empty statement that doesn't make any sense.

Oh, and I am not trying to persuade anyone to do anything, I am respecting an individual's choice and expressing my respect for the people that make sacrifices so I don't have to.

Guys do ample research and please speak to many recruiters, they are hiring only linguistics, active duty means you will be posted somewhere.

Language specialists (it is linguists by the way, not linguistics) AND medical professionals, both, are eligible to apply for the MAVNI program.

Linguists only have the active duty option, medical professionals have the option to be in the reserves


Good luck

well, again this forum is for informative purposes, not to force ur judgments onto others. Its a shame to find such posts as by Kumarc123...do u think I dont know wat army means and wat wud be my job profile? thousands of young US citizens putting their life on stake for their country are A holes???, do they not know wat future beholds..they do it even though they are already US citizens. I am a RN, I respect the lifestyle, discipline and respect army, any country's army, get. I like to treat people on the verge, very critical. Wartime service has its own rewards, fulfilling beyond money or citizenship. U have ur opinions, but be thankful to ppl who make US a safer place. I am sure no one in ur family ever was in army, so u'll never understand. The point is if u can not provide any help, please move on, dont threadcrap. I am not sure why am i wasting time addressing u anyway, however, back to the original point, can somebdy provide insight on MAVNIman's issue as to wat possibly cud "update ur I94 means"? any help appreciates guys!

Thank you for your encouragement apx817. I appreciate it.

kumarc, I just want to be clear on one thing here. I am not desperate. I am currently working in a full time job making $30/hour in the high technology industry in San Fransisco. I can stay with my company and eventually get a greencard through legal process.

The reason I want to do this is that I have lived in the USA for 8 years (undergrad + grad school through full scholarship in Engineering+ work) now and love this country. Not just the greenback but what America stands for. I am a follower of American literature and American history. Also, my girlfriend of 6 years is also American and I can also get citizenship through marriage. However, I feel the best way for me to gain citizenship here is to serve this country. I want to one day work for the DoD and my service will give me a ramp up to this dream.

I understand that you care about people and do not want to see any of us die in war. I appreciate your opinion but if I am cleared for this program, I am going to serve. In fact I am praying hard that I do get cleared.

So, were u able to find out wat 194 update means? Also, are you trying to enlist as a healthcare professional or a language enlistee....not that it makes any difference, i am just curious. pls keep us updated, while I patiently await a word from my recruiter...

Hey, If you donlt like what you see, just shut up. The fact is always of supply and demand. The US armed forces need a skill set that many immigrants/non-immigrants have. So what is wrong with them hold out a carrot to the people who want a fast track to Citizenship.
I will be honored to serve with the US defence forces, anywhere, anytime, in any capacity.
And not everybody in a Uniform gets the honor of holding a gun and going fight. There are more support functions than combat elements. It takes 3 to 4 support personnel to keep one soldier on the front lines, understood.
If you are so scared of dying on the battlefront, let me tell you something, your chances of getting in to a bad accident driving to work are more than being shot at by an Iraqi or Afghan terrorist.
So STFU and go do your job, or hide en tu casa.

I agree with you,

I apologize for my words, I should have quoted them better. Lets not pass judgment without thinking.

I just didn't feel people should risk their lives, as life is very special, i know it better cause i have lost some closed ones.


The carrot always look good from a distance, but sometimes it can have a bitter taste.

Good luck to all

moving on, would somebdy care to address mavniman's query
"I submitted my documents for the MAVNI Program and my recruiter said he got an email from Homeland Security saying I need to update my I-94 card.
My visa expired in 2005 but I have had valid I-20s all the way and am currently on the 4th month of my OPT.

The last time I re-entered the USA was September 2002.

Could anyone please tell me what updating my I-94 means?"

any idea wat could updating I94 mean? from wat i can figure out, his i94 was last stamped in 2002, has there been an update in I94 cards since then?

Ravneet thank you for bringing the topic back on course. I was wondering the same thing.
My last I-94 card was stamped by INS and not by the DHS (since it did not exist prior to 2003). So I am wondering if I need to send in the card for DHS to stamp it.

Also, I found out that they have 470 slots left for language specialists. So we have time, do not panic.

Other thing I checked was they will test the writing and reading language skills
person has to be in us for a longer period of time, fresh F1 cannot apply
Also take physical test to clear

No guarantee on being shipped to war zone, cannot guarantee on paper
