I would like to join the army, but I was born and grow up in Iran, and my families are living in Iran. I came to the United States as a Political asylum, and I like to serve to Us army in Intelligence career. I know after enrolling in the army I can get a citizenship, But I don't know can I get an Intell or other jobs which need a security clearance? Are these factors prevent me to getting clearance?

Read this. Based on what you are saying about your family members still living in Iran.....your chances of getting into the Army Intel Community is are slim to none......and probably leaning more towards none. Might want to consider a different career field if you wish to still join the Army.

Thanks for sharing the link. I know former CIA agent who has the bunch of families in Iran. Maybe CIA and military are different in security clearance topic.
