AnswerHow can my boyfriend become a legal citizen? If anyone can give advise it is greatly appreciated. An alien resident of the United States does not automatically become a citizen of the US by joining the Armed Forces.Your boyfriend can become a legal citizen after I believe 7 years of having lived in the uS.
