@vp88781 Yes, the army used to discharge people who got the NDM status. But now there is a lawsuit going on and the army stopped discharging them. you can check the new updates here, http://dcfederalcourtmavniclasslitigation.org/calixto_updates/.

The MAVNI program is still not open in 2019 and it is not expected to open anytime soon. The MAVNI program is closed now. We will announce it once it opens again. It has not been reopened since 2017. Here is the official document.

You got the NDM status?

Hey guys. I became a US citizen through the MAVNI program. It took me more than 2 years but the long wait has finally paid off. I got my "normal" social security card without any restriction and received my US passport. I had so many ups and downs with the MAVNI program but I'm grateful that I'm a US citizen now. I also sponsored my parents to get their green cards. Thank you for all of your support and I hope you get your citizenship too.

I'm on Holiday Block Leave from BCT at Fort Sill. I don't have access to the internet now because I'm at basic training. Hopefully, I will be able to use my laptop at AIT. If you have any question, please leave it here on MAVNI Center. I answer it as soon as I get access to the internet. Thank you!

@sujit Nobody knows how long it takes. I know that there are people who enlisted in 2015 still waiting for the MSSD result.

Hm.. I don't understand your question. Your CI investigation is done but MSSD is not complete?

Yea, I know a few. From what I know, the physical is only valid for two years and you have to do all the things again.

I did a walk-in at my local USCIS application center with my CAC card last week. They were very friendly and helpful.

@sujit Follow the steps on this page, http://dcfederalcourtmavniclasslitigation.org/nio_request/. The Fried Frank lawyers might help expedite the process.

I finally applied for naturalization about three weeks ago with the signed N426. My unit didn't sign it until the Kirwa case order.

The MANVI program is permanently terminated. We don't know when it will reopen.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a court order on October 27, 2017 to enjoin (i.e. prevent) the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) from refusing to certify requests for certification of military or naval service (form N-426) for MAVNI (Military Accessions Vital to National Interest) enlistees who enlisted before October 13, 2017.

If you are a service member who has served or is serving in the Army Reserve through the MAVNI program and who has not yet been naturalized, please check out this website, http://dcfederalcourtmavniclasslitigation.org/. You may be eligible for naturalization before shipping to BCT.

Margaret Stock is gathering information about any Selected Reserve DTP MAVNIs who recently have been discharged or who have been told that they are being discharged, please complete this survey as soon as possible:

I only know as much as you know. But I understood it differently. I think we will get an update on the MAVNI program in May and the updated process will take the majority of this year.

Yea, there is no interview process for DA.

@lili Nothing is certain about the MAVNI program this year. My suggestion is not to plan around it and think of it as a backup. Stay in status and wait is all I can say now.
