No Selective Service - Naturalization

[aidan80 9]

I entered the US in November 2005 as a K1, at the time I was 25 years old. I obtained residency on or around October 2006 at which point I was months into being 26 years old. I thought I had registered for Selective Service way back during AOS but apparently I haven't. At the time I was under the impression that the K1 is/was a non resident classification which I believe would be why I never registered. I didn't register after I became a resident because I was then 26 years old. Anyway fast forward to present I've been in the US 12 years and a resident for almost 11 years this year and my naturalization interview is days away. 

 

From what I've read thus far I shouldn't have any issues regarding selective service however I also have no evidence either way to prove anything other than the fact I never registered. Which kind of annoys me as I've evidence/documentation to cover just about everything else. I did go to sss.gov and I did do a search which returns no records matching my name/SS number. It's a non issues but there's always something that wants to nag at us when we're days away from an important date.

 

Anyone else here have any issues regarding Selective Service or other issues during or after your naturalization interview.

You won't have any issues because you're over 31. To put your mind at ease, you can review the USCIS policy manual on this topic:

See B 2 "Failure to Register for Selective Service"

 

Quote

Applicants Over 31 Years of Age

 

The applicant is eligible [for naturalization]. This is the case even if the applicant knowingly and willfully failed to register because the applicant’s failure to register would be outside of the statutory period.
