I have a citizenship interview and as I was going thru some paper work, it says" If you are a male and between the ages of 18 and 31, please bring proof you registered with the Selective Service System between the ages of 18 and 26".........I am 30 now.....is that mean if was in that time of 18-26 and getting a citizenship.....i was suppose to be with Selective service or what?

Help me out guys?

That is how it sounds like. please visit:

selectiveservice

You must be register for selective service if you have recieved your residency (Green Card) before the age of 26. If you have received your green card after your 26th birthday, you do not need to register. I think you need a lawyer, not registering for the selective service can disqualify you for the citizenship.

Damn.....I am screwed......I got my green card when I was right around 25......I have interview tomorrow.....When I filled out the N-400 (Citizenship Application), I wrote that "NO" to the question where it says: Are you a male who lived in the US at any time between your 18th and 26th birthdays in any status except as a lawful nonimmigrant?".........

What are my coices here guys?

Peace

FYI...........

Interview went well.....I was scared about the the Selective Services....They will tell you to sign a paper saying that you didn't know about it (Which was true in my case).........

go n ask post office..den u will get it..

Congratch Ram Prasad bro. I have a same situation.Is there anyway i can contact you.

Guys,
If you are alien who entered USA after 26th birthday OR you did not have your permanent residency till your 26th birthday there is seperate option to get selective service registration. Well, you can never register officially after 26th birthday( which is law even for US citizens) but what happens is they (www.sss.gov) will give you a LETTER explaining why you are unable to register. NOW, this letter is your certificate, NEVER loose it and whenever you need show this letter and give its copies to different organisation in need (like citizenship interview, Joining US army, getting FAFSA stafford student loan and many more). Just showing this letter will be enough and they will waive your requirements.

Go ahead download this request form from

http://www.sss.gov/FSmen.htm

and the forms are follows:

FREAKING US laws........ ONLY men need to do this not women ..... even women go to army equally.

If you are PR, no need to contact your lawyer, others I do'nt know but I think you do not need to.

Spirit.....you can e-mail me @ ramprasadji@wmconnect.com.........I will try my best to help you..........


Thanks........

Ram Prasad

Lu ta saathi haru ho....malayi badhayi diu hai.........Finally I have an oath on 15th of January........they have called me in church....I hope they won't tell me to change my religion....Just kidding....By the way SPIRIT....I never received your e-mail hai.....if you still need help, feel free to contact me via e-mail..........

Peace out.....

Ram Parsad ji,

DO you have any idea ? how long dv- visa winner people have to wait to get their citizenship?

gurungni,
one can apply for naturalization after being a US permanent resident for 4 yrs and 9 months. i think it is the same case for all PR whether DV winner or not.

Ram Prasad,

what state did you naturalize from? I heard NY, PA have a backlog of 2 years.
