Hi! My fiancee is 28 years old, so he is not required to register for Selective Services. However, does he need to register for selective services in order to gain US citizenship down the road?

Thanks in advance!

reeses16,

The answer is yes - IF - between 18 and 25, in your case it's No good.gif

Almost all male U.S. citizens, and male aliens living in the U.S., who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service. It's important to know that even though he is registered, a man will not automatically be inducted into the military. In a crisis requiring a draft, men would be called in sequence determined by random lottery number and year of birth. Then, they would be examined for mental, physical and moral fitness by the military before being deferred or exempted from military service or inducted into the Armed Forces
