Question 33 about Selective Service Registration in form N-400
Hi All,
I don't understand the question:
"Are you a male who lived in the United States at any time between
your 18th and 26th birthdays in any status except as a lawful
nonimmigrant?"
what kind of status would that be?
I lived in the US in that time with a greencard and I am registered
with Selective Service, so what should I answer?
Thanks for your help,
Frank

PR or illegal alien...
Only people in non-immigrant status, who did not overstay their allowed
stay or became illegal in another way are excempt from the Selective
Service registration requirement.

Anything but a lawful non-immigrant status ;-) You would have to answer
"yes" if you had a Green Card during that time, or if you entered the USA
without inspection, or if you overstayed some other lawful status, or if
you violated your status, for instance by working, or by failing to study
on a student visa, or something of that nature.

"YES"

Thanks for your help.
I also found a definition for what a nonimmigrant is:
A nonimmigrant temporarily enters the United States for a specific
purpose such as business, study, temporary employment or pleasure.
When you are admitted into the United States, a U.S. official will
assign you a nonimmigrant category according to the purpose of your
visit. If you want to change the purpose of your visit while you are
in the United States, then you or, in some cases, your employer must
ask the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to change your
nonimmigrant status. For instance, if you arrived here as a tourist,
but want to become a student, you must submit an application to change
your status with the USCIS. If you do not apply to change your
nonimmigrant status, you will be breaking U.S. immigration laws. Proof
that you are willing to obey U.S. laws may be important if you want to
travel to the United States as an immigrant or nonimmigrant in the
future. You may also become subject to removal (deportation) if you
break U.S. immigration laws.
