On April 14, 2008, USCIS published an updated fact sheet explaining the naturalization requirements for members of the United States Armed Forces. In addition they published a military help line: 1-877-CIS-4MIL (1-877-247-4645). There are special accomodations made for members of the military when they apply to naturalize including a waiver of fees. Any member of the military who has served in wartime since September 11, 2001, and who otherwise qualifies, is eligible for naturalization immediately.
