Too late now, you need to show 5 years good moral character.

Did you check here? https://www.sss.gov/RegVer/wfVerification.aspx

I read somewhere that DMV sometimes automatically registers people for Selective Service. Not sure though.

You failed to register for selective service, and that is a requirement for naturalization. You can't register now, so you are officially required to wait until you turn 31, regardless of your personal circumstances.

There are three things you can do:

1 - Double and triple check that you were not automatically registered: check the website, call them again, and write them a letter. Many people are automatically registered.

2 - The law says that knowingly failing to register for selective service is a bar to citizenship for 5 years. However, there are some people who have managed to convince their interviewers that they did not know they had to register. In these cases, they wrote letters explaining that they didn't know they had to register and they also got character references to support their claim of good moral character. This is not an easy thing to prove, because the paperwork you sign when you apply for a green card states that you have to register for selective service. If you were a minor when you got your green card and someone else signed the paperwork, then that might help your case. Also, the welcome pamphlet that came with your green card stated the same requirement. I think this is a difficult option, but I list it because it is possible. The risk of course is that you would waste $680, but it will not affect future applications as long as you are honest about your failure to register.

3 - You will have to wait until you are 31. You stated that you can't wait, but that is irrelevant; if the first two options fail, then you can wait until you are 31 or you can keep applying before then and keep getting denied.

I hope this helps.

Thanks every one I really appreciate it for kindness u guys have shown. Meanwhile I called USCIS and they told me that they need a letter that explain y I didn't register and needs a status information letter from selective service. I know I made a mistake which was not deliberate. I will go for naturalization and will hope for the best

I don't know much about SS, however, when you came over when you were 16, were you the beneficiary of an F2, or, were you already an LPR? If you came as a beneficiary of an F2, I believe you did not have to register since the F2 is a nonimmigrant visa.

You can still file for your wife though. Better file the i130 now to get things going and just upgrade the petition later on. You'll be wasting time while your n400 is pending.

Agree

Odd that the School did not do it?

No harm, but likely no benefit.
