What do people enlisted in the military gain during immigration?

What is the process of gaining U.S. citizenship while a member of the military? How helpful is it for the process? Is the partner of military given extra special consideration?

Answer: Immigration laws are exactly similar for everyone. It doesn’t change for a family relation of someone with a military background and a non-military background. Things would be slightly easier for the spouse of an enlisted militant or master who is still active in the army. They can enjoy the privilege of “Parole in Place” which makes the process a bit easy. Rules and instructions are clearly mentioned by USCIS in a memorandum which directs the concerned offices on how to take care of spouses of military whether active or retired regarding the immigration procedure.
