Hey guys recently I have been hearing that if you join the military as a dentist they can expedite the process of obtaining a green card. Does anyone know if they offer this to dental students? I contacted my National Guard rep and he didn't know.

Thanks,

Sajitude you are correct. It is a pilot program that may not be a permanent thing. You must have a U.S. dental license and be a graduate from an accredited dental school with a DMD/DDS. This is not offered to dental students. More information can be found below:

Thanks for the info. I was really hoping it would include dental students but guess not.
