Green Card

To join the USAF as a non-citizen, you will need an INS Form I-551 (Green Card) indicating permanent resident status with an expiration date two years from the date it was issued, or a green card with an INS Form G-845 (Document Verification Request) with no restrictions, or an INS Form G-845 with no restrictions, proof that a permanent card was ordered, and proof of permanent aliens status such as a stamped passport, INS Form I-94 (Arrival Departure Record) or an old INS Form I-551 with a temporary stamp.

Those with dual citizenship are not allowed to enlist or commission in the US Air Force. If you’d like to join and have dual citizenship, you must renounce your citizenship in the other country in writing, and relinquish your foreign passports by mailing them back to the foreign embassy with proof, or by destroying them in front of MEPS personnel.
