Selective service doesn't have my record...

Not an expert, but hopefully you were actually registered, they are just having a hard time finding it because it isn't associated with your social security number. As I said in the post first linked above, it's a mess of a system.

I would call again, or perhaps write again, stating that you believe you've been automatically registered but need them to make a more thorough search of their records.

Worst case scenario and you weren't registered is that you would need to wait until you turn 31 in order to naturalise. At that point it's no longer considered a failure of the five year look-back period for assessing your moral character.

I really, really, really hope that Selective Service is abolished soon. It's stupid, and a waste of the $24m a year that it costs to operate - which I grant you is a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of the federal budget, but still.
