Selective Service Dilemma
Hi Guys ,Im Freaking out about this Selective Service
Here is my case I hope you can help me if I need to get a letter from SSS that Im not required to register when I entered the US,Arrived here on 12/14/99 on a tourist visa at the age of 24 yrs old and stayed on until my 26th birthday I was able to remain legal as my request for my extension to stay was approved,I got my PR on 07/13/03 at the age of 28yrs old.Guys my interview is on Dec.14 of this year and Im afraid that they will ask regarding my SSS.What do you think Guys of my case ? Do I still need to get a letter from SSS? or Im fine?Correct me also if Im wrong that my reason for not signing up is that Im a legal non-permanent resident during the said age period,Thanks in advance for any response

3. Selective Service Registration Requirement
Those men required to register for Selective Service, who are filing for adjustment of status or consular processing of an immigrant visa, are automatically registered if they file using the more recent I-485 application form, implemented on February 7, 2000, or the DS-230 form with OMB Approval No. 1405-0015. If a person filed for either process on a different form, he may not have been automatically registered for selective service and should do so immediately if he is still under 26 years of age.
Guys this is what worries me,Even I was able to remain legal as a non-permanent resident until 06/13/01,I filed my I-485 on March 14,2001 which I was 25yrs old and my Birthday is 05/13/75.Again I got my GC at age 28,I know that my Lawyer used the new form but when I checked it I was not registered,I was just wondering because I dont have a SSN then.I hope Guys you can clear this issue to me .thanks again.

Re: Selective Service Dilemma
Why don't you just go over to sss.gov and see if you were ever registered? Not clear if you have done this.
I-485 currently has language on the back that enrolls you; maybe you were registered and didn't know it.
Regardless, read Ian's post again.

You cannot register after you reach age 26. Failure to register is considered exhibition of a lack of good moral character. You have to exhibit five years of good moral character.
So, assuming you failed to register at all -- you will not be able to show 5 years of GMC until after May 13, 2006.
It is now THREE YEARS later. You have now shown EIGHT years of GMC. Eight is more than five.
If you want to worry, do so.
