failure to register was not knowing and willful

This is going to be the kicker. If you were told at the consulate or at entry or even received information with your green card, this stipulation is going to be what you have to overcome. Looks like it is going to be a long uphill battle for you now.

Often asked question.

Here's your answer.

Read this part carefully, twice!

Applicants Between 26 and 31 Years of Age

A man between 26 and 31 years of age[1] who was required to register for Selective Service and who knowingly and willfully failed to register cannot demonstrate that he is eligible for naturalization. Every male naturalization applicant between 26 and 31 years of age who failed to register for Selective Service must provide evidence that his failure to register was not knowing and willful or that he was not required to register. If a male naturalization applicant between 26 and 31 years of age failed to register with Selective Service, the naturalization examination must be continued to give the applicant an opportunity to obtain evidence that his failure to register was not knowing and willful or that he was not required to register. If the applicant is unable to demonstrate that his failure to register was not knowing and willful or that he was not required to register, his naturalization application must be denied. Again, the decision must state explicitly that the INS has found that his willful failure to register with Selective Service means he cannot show that, during the requisite period before filing his application, he was not well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States. The decision must cite § 316(a)(3).

More the reason to rectify this problem directly with Selective Service by whatever means before even submitting your application. Find this problem with problems with the IRS that should be resolved first before applying.

Could be by enlisting in the armed services of the country or the National Guard could be a solution. Really don't know, have to talk that over with a Selective Service officer. Do know of some illegals that avoided deportation by enlisting. Don't know until you try if US citizenship is that important to you. If not, just stay as a LPR.

Hmmm, never was a problem in the first place. You have to be feeling very great at this time.

we sure are we have waited 3 yrs for him to become eligible for citizenship we are making big sacrifices in our relationship to do it the right way so it would of hurt to know we have to discuss a different avenue of how and when we can be together plus with a baby coming soon we really don't want to wait another 3 or 4yrs to be together

Sigh! Yes that is a good relief. I am sure not being registered would have caused a lot of complexity and would require a lot of explaining to say the least. I am happy for you that you now have one less thing to worry about now.
