USCIS accepts five: first Secretary of the Treasury, one of the writers of the Federalist Papers, helped establish the First Bank of the United States, aide to General George Washington, or member of the Continental Congress.

During the American Revolution, Hamilton served as an aide to George Washington, the general of the Continental Army. He was also a member of the Continental Congress.
