For a small group of young immigrants who were pitched a dream of gaining U.S. citizenship through military service, even a call home can jeopardize their status and flag them to the FBI.
That s life for more than 100 would-be Americans who enlisted under the Military Accessions Vital to National Interest program. Started as a way to woo talented youths from other countries who could fill key military skill gaps, it has now become a drawn-out limbo fraught with security Catch-22s for those waiting months or years for background screenings to clear.

ISLAMABAD: Senior journalist Tariq Mehmood Malik lost his life to Covid-19 on Thursday. He was 50.
While the country’s politicians and journalists have expressed grief and sorrow over his demise, the Foreign Office has postponed its weekly briefing as Malik had been covering foreign affairs for over a decade.
Irfan Ghauri, a relative of the deceased, told Dawn that Malik developed a fever on Nov 20 and was being treated for infection and pneumonia as he had no symptoms of Covid-19.
“However, on Nov 29 he started facing difficulty in breathing due to which his family doctor suggested him to get himself tested for Covid-19 and he tested positive. Arrangements were made to provide oxygen at his house but after a few more days he was shifted to Holy Family Hospital. Then he was put on a ventilator and remained there for nine days. Initially there was some improvement but later he completely collapsed,” he said.
