Hello all

 

I applied for n400 in june 2018 on 3 years marriage base.

I received an email today that my interview is scheduled for june 27 2019 in baltimore office.

I received the notice and it says that i have to bring the notice, green card and any evidence of selective service registration.

My question is my dob is 17/11/1986 and i came to USA on december 1st 2012 and according to that i arrived after my 26th birthday.

Should i get any type of letter from selective service or just take my passport with me which has stamp on it from dhs. From what i understood  at the time is that if one arrives  in the  USA after their 26th birthday then he doesnt need to register for selective service. 

 

 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

n-400 register for selective service
Applicants Under the age of 26

Applicants for U.S. citizenship under the age of 26 should expect to have Form N-400 denied if they choose not to register for Selective Service. By making the decision not to register, the applicant is willfully failing to meet this obligation, and the USCIS officer will be forced to deny the N-400 application based on the applicant’s moral character.

Applicants that are least age 18 and under the age of 26, can take action now to correct the problem. They can easily register for Selective Service by visiting www.sss.gov. Not sure if you have registered? Applicants can even create an instant Official Letter of Verification to get proof.

n-400 register for selective service
Applicants Between 26 and 31 Years of Age

N-400 applicants between 26 and 31 years of age may be ineligible for U.S. citizenship. Again, applicants that “knowingly and willfully failed to register” or simply refused to register for Selective Service, should expect to have Form N-400 denied. On the other hand, USCIS will allow the applicant an opportunity to show that he did not knowingly or willfully fail to register, or that he was not required to do so.

Even if the reason for not registering was innocent, many immigration attorneys suggest it is better to wait until age 31 (if applying based on five years of permanent residence) or 29 (if applying based on three years of permanent residence while married to a U.S. citizen). The reasoning is that the applicant must show five years (or three years respectively) of good moral character.

Applicants under the age of 31 that want to proceed with naturalization (rather than waiting) may do so. The applicant will need to present evidence that failing to register for selective service was an innocent oversight and that he did not “willfully” avoid the requirement. Applicants should submit the following three items with Form N-400

 

 

Good luck

My husband got proof of ineligibility for selective service in for the same situation. I'm not sure what the official name is, but he had to get it for his school. It takes about two weeks to come. I'm sorry I can't remember more details. We didin't send it for n400 though and did fine.
