I got my Korean SO's dad to translate his birth certificate from Korean to English. He also signed a statement saying he was fluent in Korean and English and translated accurately. I got an RFE saying we didn't include a translation of the birth certificate. I wasn't sure if it was because they lost it, or because they didn't accept his dad being the translator. So I just found a translating company online, and had them do the translation for $50. They took that and approved my AOS.

Just travelled out of the US to Japan for vacation end of May. ANA airline wouldn't let us put an expired green card in their site, so we added 4 years to the expiration date to match the extension letter. Also applied for Global Entry beforehand on 1/24/24. My (USC) Global Entry was conditionally approved immediately, but SO was not - until he finally got conditionally approved during our vacation end of May. When we arrived in US, we went to the Global Entry Enrollment On Arrival line instead of regular immigration. They just asked the typical Global Entry interview questions, have you committed any crimes, do you have any foreign citizenships. Took the extension letter no problem, and we were approved for Global Entry as well.

Filed 9/4/22, NOA 9/15/22. Called to fix a typo on the form 10/18/23. 6/2/24 they updated and said they got biometrics. That notification came immediately after we took biometrics for Global Entry enrollment on arrival. I'm not sure if they shared the biometrics from Homeland Security USCBP to Homeland Security USCIS. Or maybe they reused the biometrics we already took for AOS. The VisaJourney Lifting Conditions Stats page says they're processing forms with NOA of 9/10/22, so my 9/15/22 NOA should be coming up soon. Fingers crossed! Hopefully no interview.

Thanks all for the replies. We were able to call Selective Service when they opened Monday morning and they confirmed that when USCIS registered him, they didn't send his SSN, so that's why we're not able to find his record through the site. The lady on the phone updated his record so it is now accessible through the site, and confirmed that he was indeed registered before his 26th birthday. So we now have the proof of his on-time registration.

My spouse filed the I-495 AOS to adjust from a K1 visa when he was 25. The form said So he expected to be automatically registered. But now he's 27 and we're getting ready to file the N-400 for citizenship, and it looks like that form requires your Selective Service registration info. I went on the official Selective Service website to look up his information with his name, birthday, and SSN, but it says it can't find him in the system. I also can't find any document we were mailed regarding the registration. I'm panicking now because it says if you didn't register before your 26th birthday, you are barred from citizenship, student aid, government jobs, and more, for the rest of your life. We're contacting a lawyer, but I have no idea what happened here. Could it actually be the form tells you that you'll be automatically registered, and then they don't automatically register you? Anyone get the automatic registration and found info about it to put on the N-400? Edit: I just remembered when he got his Maryland Driver's License, I think there was a question about signing up for Selective Service there too, and I'm pretty sure he answered "yes" to register. That should've been before his 27th birthday. But I still can't find his info on the Selective Service site?
