Can a winner be accepted in the US Army?

With the GreenCard you can work in almost all professions including most areas of the US Army. Those areas of army and politics which are not accessible for holders of a GreenCard are usually open to you after having acquired US citizenship. You can usually acquire US-citizenship after 5 years.

How should the photo(s) be fixed on the application form?

Please use adhesive tape to fix your own photo (i.e. the photo of the main applicant) on the field reserved for that purpose on the front of the form. Please write your name and date of birth well legible on the back and do not glue the photo.

If you have family members, a photo of each of them in the format 50 x 50 mm (2 x 2 inches) also has to be added. If the front doesn’t provide enough space, those photos can also be stuck to the lower margin of the back. Please do only stick these photos with adhesive tape, too, and write name and date of birth of the respective person(s) on the back.

Alternatively you can also send in all photos separately with your application form. In this case please make sure they can not fall off the envelope. We will take care of fixing the photos and cut them into the right format if necessary.
