Does every CR-1 spouse under 25 have to sign up for a military draff??

During our long journey i came across a paper (on-line) that said my husband (he was the beneficiary from Mexico)had to sign up for military incase of a draft because he waas under 25 years of age. I cannot find that online paper and my husband has been in the united states for a month now and we have not applied...Did anybody else read about this??

Just to clarify it isn't the draft, it is selective service

good luck

It's called 'Selective Service System'

And the answer is yes... see below from the web site. When I submitted my DS-260 online I even had to click a link about selective service before being able to submit the application

https://www.sss.gov/RegVer/wfRegistration.aspx

If you're a male U.S. citizen, age 18 through 25, and are living INSIDE the United States or its territories, or if you have an APO/FPO address, you can register with Selective Service by filling out the form below and clicking on "Submit Registration."

If you're a male U.S. citizen, age 18 through 25, and are living OUTSIDE the United States, you can register with Selective Service by clicking here.

If you are an immigrant male (documented or undocumented) living in the United States, age 18 through 25, you are required to register. You may submit your registration to the Selective Service by filling out the form below and clicking on "Submit Registration." Non-immigrant males living in the United States on a valid visa are NOT required to register.

If you are unable to register online, or you receive an error message, you will be directed to a registration form which you may print out, complete, sign, and mail to the Selective Service System.

EARLY SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION: Now, if you are a man who is at least 17 years and 3 months old, you may complete this form to submit your registration information. The information will be held on file and processed automatically when you are within 30 days of your 18th birthday, at which time we will mail confirmation to you.

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to Moving Here and Your New Life In America forum; topic is about registration requirements with the Selective Service System and not about the spousal visa process.

It is important to do so if he ever wants to become a US citizen. His naturalization application will require proof that he registered, so save the receipt/card or whatever you get. Sorry I don't know what kind of proof you get, but whatever it is, save it.
