Urgent Advice: N-400 Interview in an Hour -- Selective Service Proof

[theImmigrantGuy 7]

Hi,

As title says, I got they interview in a couple of hours. I became 26 before I became a resident however, I was 26 AFTER I applied to change my status from student to resident. I was I-485 pending status I guess. Any ways, so I registered for Selective Service during this time before I got issued a SSN and the proof of selective service has my name, DOB but not my SSN.. Now on SS website they can't find my record for obvious reasons, they don't have my SSN.

 

Now was I supposed to register ? what to say when immigration officer ask about it? should I hand it or say I wasn't supposed to register because I became a resident after being 26??

First off, do not bring it up.  Wait for the interview officer to ask you.

 

If the officer asks, explain it just like you did above.  Be honest.

 

The worst that will happen will be that they'll want to pend your naturalization until you can come up with more proof.  That's the worst.  (Edited:  I don't think there's a large chance of this happening.)

You were 26 before you became a resident and 26 after you filed I-485.  
 

If your status in then USA was a lawfully admitted non immigrant you did not have to register.

You weren’t supposed to register unless you were a male illegal alien after age 18 and before age 26.  
 

Do you have a response from SSS  from your registration? If so bring that to the interview.  If not you need a status information letter from SSS.
