N-400, Part 11 Item 46

[sherif23 2]

Hello everyone I am a bit confused on that item

Are you a male that lived in the US anytime between your 18 & 26 birthday? which does not include living as a lawful non-immigrant

and when you examine the instruction sheets , it states

• If you answered “Yes” and:
  • You are more than 31 years old when you apply OR
  • You are over age 29 and applying based on marriage to a U.S. citizen
    • you do not need to submit a status information letter from the Selective Service or a written statement explaining why you did not register

I am above the age of 31 applying for the naturalization, But I just feel a lot of grey area, cause I used to have a green card from a prior marriage that I abandoned when i moved back home

but I was always a non-immigrant until i was granted conditional residency in 2004 at which i was older than 26

thanks

So you were never a permanent resident or an undocumented alien after you turned 18 and before you turned 26?

If that is correct, then you were not required to register for Selective Service.

thank you so much

that is what i figured, but was a little hesitant since I was in the US between the age of 18 & 26 physically, just not the required status
