Selective service on h1b
I've been living here for less than two months and in my current address for about three weeks and I've just received a letter saying I'd been registered for selective service.
I'm on an h1b which I understand isn't a mandatory SSS visa, and I definitely didn't apply. Can anyone shed some light on this?
I don't necessarily have a problem with it other than being confused as to why it happened!

Since there isn't a draft, registering is just a formality and has more upside than downside.

If you're here, you pretty much have to sign up for it, except possibly students? Even illegals have to sign up for it :/

2. Only LPR's and "illegals" are required to register. Those in authorized non-immigrant status are exempted.
3. It strikes me as "no harm, no foul" if you are registered when you don't have to.

1. You can easily check at www.sss.gov to see if you were registered or not.

BTW Do you speak (North) Korean? You could become an officer

There is a maximum age for sign up. As I moved here after my 36th birthday I could not sign up but had to get a letter to that effect before I could get student loans, certain government jobs, and naturalization .

Presumably they wanted asylum outside missile range?
