Foreign military student

[Adam2552]

Hello everybody,

 

I am 28year old male, NOT from United States, currently studying military program specialty in avionics, I have just started third year of five year study program ending in Master's degree. I was selected in green card lottery and I have been seriously thinking about leaving military, emigrating to US, joining Air Force, getting citizenship and completing degree in US using credits from my current studies, this could probably happen in about 4 years and by then i should be around 32-33 years old when trying to apply for OTS and UPT.

I know most of people want fighters, i am no different, but i just can't live without atleast trying and honestly even if it doesn't work out, i would be happy with flying heavies, priority is flying a serving any purpose greater than me(the military)

So, is there any real chance? Or is it stupid to throw everything away for a shot at flying fighters and getting into UPT with around  52hours flight time(PPL licence), PRK eye surgery, age around 32-33 and 3years service in foreign military(NATO country). I would probably need waivers for my military service, PRK surgery and if something goes wrong, probably for age too(limit without waiver is 33 if i am not mistaken)

 

Thanks for taking time to read this and thanks for any replies.

Seems like you know your answer.

Just curious, is your country of birth, citizenship, and military service all the same country? Which country?

You won't be able to get a clearance until you're a naturalized citizen.

If i am not mistaken I should be able to get citizenship quite fast if I join Air Force as green card holder
