US Immigration from Colombia

I'm looking for helpful advice. My Husband just received his appointment for naturalization (August 1, 2025). We've only been preparing for his interview the past few days as the notice just came, it was delivered to a address a few blocks away from our home by mistake. I'm genuinely freaking out however because of an error I made.

For background, he arrived in the US on June 4, 2019, he was 25 years old at the time. We were married on July 17, 2019 I knew it was my responsibility to register him with the Selective Service, but never did so. On August 5, 2019 shortly after our honeymoon, my Mother died and to make things worse my husband thought he killed her. He cooked dinner for her the day before her death and he was wracked with guilt. By the time things settled down from our marriage, honeymoon and my mothers unexpected death, my husband turned 26. (December 14, 2019) Covid 19 was upon us and registering for the Selective Service was the last thing on my mind. (It was a crazy time)

I'm really afraid that my error is going to cause problems for him during his interview. On the N-400 application,

Question # 22a states: Are You are a male who lived in the United States for anytime between your 18th and 26th birthday I answered (YES)

Question # 22b states: If you answered Yes to question 22a, did you register for the Selective Service? I answered (NO) Both answers to 22a & 22b are truthful.

The instructions for N-400 further state: If you answered No to 22b and you are:

31 years of age or above (or 29 years of age or above if you are applying based on being the spouse of a U.S. citizen)

My husband is now 31 and applying for citizenship based on his marriage to me a US citizen.

N-400 instructions state: Then, you do not need to provide a statement explaining why you did not register or a status information letter from the Selective Service.

As I read the letter of the law, it would seem we are ok with having mistakenly not registered with the Selective Service and further do not need to explain why. But, I am really worried all things considered that this may present a problem for my husband. Any thoughts, ideas, reassurances or suggestions would truly be appreciated.

Hello!

New here and first post. First, want to thank everyone who has contributed to all the great info found here. It has been so helpful while deciding on whether to apply for the K-1 visa.

I (US Citizen, the Petitioner) am just now starting to gather documents for the I-129F, and I'm planning on filing the next time I visit the US in a couple of weeks. I am currently in Colombia on a visitor visa, and I'm trying to gather everything I need from my fianc before my next visit to the US to file the I-129F.

So far I have (2 copies of each):

1. Passport style photo
2. Her Signed Letter of Intent to Marry within 90 days of arrival
3. Copies of passport stamps from her and my passport that show that we arrived together when traveling to other countries over the past couple years

She was never previously married, no criminal history, and never changed her legal name. For proof of having met and ongoing relationship, we have photos, plane tickets, email/chat histories, apartment rental agreements with both our names on it, etc.

Is there anything else I need from my fianc for the I-129F before I leave for my trip to the US?

Thanks!

Eric

I frequently check my USCIS account, but today my case is no longer visible. I noticed several options, including one to add a new case, so I attempted that and got stuck. The system requested a 12-character code that I was supposedly given when I opened the account. I looked through my records and found a 10-character code, but it didn t work. How can I retrieve that code again? Would it be advisable to delete the account and set up a new one?

Has anyone here knows where is uscis up? I mean what month they are approving right now as F2A cat?

My ex wife (still living together but she has been in Colombia since December) may need to stay in Colombia for longer than 6 months. What do we do?

I'm panicking in a way she doesn't know because her ticket back is for this Thursday, which will be 5 1/2 months out of the US this year. Why I'm worried is that she called tonight from a hospital. It seems her mom had a stroke or possibly worse. The call went dead and I haven't been able to get up with her. But I'm not trying really hard because of what I know she is going through as she is close to her mom. She has family with her and me being her ex (though still close) I don't want to impose too hard. As of this moment, I don't see her flying home this Thursday so I understand she needs to getnhere by the end of May to keep it under 6 months.

I figured I'd ask here as time may be an issue and I don't want here to lose her permanent residence status.

So, if she has to hang out in Col for some time, how long would it typically take to get an appointment here in the US to get her passport stamped. We live in MD and everything has gone through the Baltimore service center.

Any ideas on what would need to be done? I'm sure she would have to fly here to get it stamped and then return to Col.

Thanks for any help I can receive. This just came up and I know she has a lot on her mind right now so I don't want to bring any of this up to her, but I feel I need to at least learn the process.

Yes, I plan to call USCIS in the morning if I can actually get through to a person. I just hope they can give me some general info about the process, though with the past history dealing with them, they need a case number and her on the phone.
