I need help answering this question:
Are you a male who lived in the United States at anytime between your 18th and 26th birthdays in any status except as a lawful nonimmigrant?

My husband became permanent resident on 11/30/2009 and at this time he was already 27 years old. He also had a fiance visa from April 2009 to October 2009 . He's been in US illegally since 2000. So do I answer yes or no.

And if I answer yes how do I explain that he was not registered with Selective Service because honestly he didn't know. Which illegal would register anyway?

Please help me answer this questions

Does or did he try to register with them? If he did, SSS should have sent him a Status Letter.

When you say illegally, are you talking about student visa or something?

If he can prove with a statement that he unknowingly didn't register, then he should be good.

He also should explain that he became lpr after 26.

The time he was illegal does not need to be counted as he was not in "any (immigration) status" at that time. K1 is officialy a non-immigrant VISA so you would go with the resident since date on the GC.

Bear in mind he will most likely be questioned about his illegal presence which could turn out to be very uncomfortable, especially if that issue hasn't been addressed before. I'm actually not sure if if it is such a good idea to apply for citizenship after just 3 years with his background. You might wanna wait till the last decision (condition removal) as at this point USCIS has the option of researching the prior decision to grant him the Green Card and turn it around which they won't have after 5 years.

Maybe you should give this a thought before you apply.
