Selective Service with adjustment of status

[Adam&Allison 128]

Hey guys,

 

So I was wondering, I'm 25 now and 26 in November - I know I'm required to sign up to selective service. Page 15 of the new I-485 says;

 

I understand that if I am a male who is 18 to 26 years of age, submitting this application will automatically register me with the Selective Service System as required by the Military Selective Service Act.

 

However I'm worried that because I'm 26 in a couple of months I won't be registered quick enough. Should I register on my own?

USCIS usually transmit your registration immediately upon receiving your application.

 

The smart thing to do would be to register yourself now, which you can do online if you have a social security number, or through the mail if you don't. The worst-case scenario will be that there might be a duplicate registration in your name, but that can easily be fixed down the line. Better two registrations than none.

OK I'll do it via mail when I get back from vacation. I already tried online but my SSN is too new so it wasn't registering. 

 

Already filed Adjustment of Status also.
