Selective service

[Dayna 0]

My friend is going through the citizenship process and he received a letter for his 1st interview with a request for additional documents.

They're asking for proof of registry for selective service or documentation of why he didn't or didn't have to do it.

He came to USA many years ago on a tourist visa then stayed illegally. About 6 years ago he received his greencard, when he was 30 years old.

He didn't register for selective service because he was illegal and didn't get GC until after the age bracket.

What documentation does he need to provide? Is there something from selective service he can get to take to the interview?

Thanks!

Proof that he was past the age where registry is required at the time he first got his green card.

Males need to register with selective service between the age of 18 and 26. I think in this case, all he needs to say is that he became a legal resident when he was 30 years old, so he wasn't required to register - it should do the trick.
