Hi there guys!!

My sister is a BRAZILIAN with USA Citizenship.

I have already applied for immigration and have my petition number...but that might take some time(2 to 10 years).

Im going to US to visit her with a B2 VISA.

I have a Degree in Brazil and im also a Public Worker(Police Officer).

I pretend going to a Recruiter while in the US to sort that out and check the odds.

Do you guys know anyone(Brazilian) that joined the army in those conditions or another nationality??

TKS

Immigrate, become a citizen and then join.

Well said gunny, I could not have said it better.

...and they might not take you because you have been in government service elsewhere (Brasil) and your loyalty to the US is in question. I don't know about B2 visas. I assume it is a visitor's only paper. Forget it then, because as Gunny says you must immigrate lock stock and barrel. But because you have been a PO in Brasil, I would say forget joining the US military (see above). Stay there and make a career out of it. Brasil isn't so bad I understand.

G25, in the local paper we have a guy (I believe he lives in Rio d.J.) who regularly has articles on life in Brazil. Good and bad stuff, truthful I guess. Thus, as I said, it isn't so bad there (except for corruption and crime). Why come here and go through all the pain? Stay there and make the best of it. I know that the Brazilian Armed Forces are pretty well up to snuff (modern). Why don't you join them?
