United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") naturalized over 11,000 members of the United States armed forces during the 2010 fiscal year. The announcement, coming on the week of Veterans' Day, indicated that this is the highest number of service members naturalized in one year since 1955. The USCIS press release quotes USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas as saying:
“As our nation’s immigration agency, USCIS makes every effort to provide members of the military and their families with exceptional access to our services. We are proud to partner with the Department of Defense in these efforts."
USCIS's commendable commitment to serving members of the military and their families is something that every member of the armed forces should know about and take advantage of if it can help them or their families. To read the USCIS press release, click here.
