Evidence of Selective Service Registration

[Thomas1988 2]

Good evening!

My N400 interview is next week, the letter tells me to bring evidence of Selective Service Registration, I have never registered for Selective Service in the US (I am currently over 37yo, entered as a LPR at 33y8mo, and before that, my first entry in the US was at 26y6mo of age on a b1/b2, and many b1/b2 visits after that until LPR entry).

From all I have read so far, I should indeed not have registered, but don't know what evidence to bring, some people say - "bring this SSS template pdf to the interview about applicants over 31yo", other people say "it does not matter that you are 99yo at the time of interview and never lived in the US between 18 and 31, you will need to request SSS for a Status Information Letter, dont use the SSS template because the officer will get mad", other people say "the IO never even asked for it because they must have realized due to my age" etc.

Can anybody help shed some light on my case? Thank you!

I never registered for selective service for the same reasons (age). Was never asked about it during N-400 interview. Didn't have any papework about it. I'm a citizen now.

I can second this statement.

Also isn't there some wording in the letter stating to bring evidence if you were required to register? Or something to the effect of "bring along evidence of the following if required to do so"? I remember reading the thing and initially having the same thought and then rereading it and deciding it did not apply to me

Here's what I found.  Print out the item from the web site and take it with you in case there are any questions.

 

But anyone can request the letter.

 

Your visits on B1/B2 do not apply.  Visitors are not "eligible" for Selective Service.

You only need a Status Information Letter (SIL) if you did not register and are between the age of 26 and 31. If you are 31 or older, no SIL is required. If you are under 26, you are required to register within 30 days of the entering the U.S., or before you turn 26.
