I have received a reply letter from Selective Service System. See my previous post http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/539051-selective-service-letter-reply/#entry7506891. Below is their response. The only reason why I am doing this is because on the N-400 form is request to input information about this. So should I send the letter I received along the N-400, even though some have said this is no longer relevant (since I'm currently 33 years old). I don't want to be in trouble nor I want my naturalization to be rejected because of this. Can someone please advise?

The original question comes because the Naturalization form N-400 does have a question (46) that talks about the Selective Service, therefore my original post. So the question is, since I was here before I turned 26 what should I put in the form. Someone advise to send a letter to SS and tell them that I didn't know about it, and that's why I received that letter, so at this point I don't know what to reply back other than putting the I-94, and probably a copy of my first (temporary 2 years) green card.

I think they're asking for your current INS status. Just send them a copy of your green card and I94.

If you see the image you will see that they asking me what was my INS status between the time I arrived until I turned 26. So you are saying only send the I-94? In the form to become a citizenship it asks about putting the SSL information, therefore the request that I sent to them. Why some say it is irrelevant? should I leave blank?

see the letter here:

After sending a letter to Selective Service (see my original post http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/535583-n-400-and-selective-service/#entry7467489) I received a response from them. They want me to provide proof of the form I-94 (I lost my passport however I had a copy of it, because it was needed for my green card). And also a valid INS status. I became illegal after Jan 23 2006 (arrived Jul 15 2005) since I stayed longer that I was allowed when I was stamped at the airport. From that point forward I was an illegal alien until I got my green card. What else should I provide besides the I-94? I didn't have any knowledge that I was supposed to register during that time frame.

Any advise?

Don't worry!

You can request a status information letter from Selective Service and it would probably say that you were supposed to register while you were being an illegal alien. However since you're over 31 (I assume you're 34 years old, not 24) you're eligible for naturalization (even if you failed to register for Selective Service).

Read this: https://www.sss.gov/Status.html

In N400 just explain that you failed to register since you didn't know that illegal aliens were supposed to register.

Yes, I am 34 years old. I will to send the letter. Thanks everyone for the advise.

Yes

If that counts as being here between age 18-26, what should I do? I never received any letter for that, nor I did know that I had to register. I don't have any criminal record and I've paid my taxes since I got here basically. What should I do?

Even though that you lived in the states, you didnt become legal until 27. Which is past 26 years age limit of the selective service. When you fill up the form tick no and tell them that your status became legal at the age of 27. You cant register for selective service when you are on tourist visa.

The thing is, the visa only allows you to stay for 6 month. After that you become an illegal alien. I got married in August 2007 a month before I turned 26. So I was an illegal alien for over 2 years during the frame I was still under 26 but didn't receive the conditional card until I was over 26. Does that counts?

I came to United States when I was 24 with a Tourist visa on July 2005 and stayed. Then I married a US citizen and got my conditional resident card on April 2008, I was 27. Then got my permanent card in April 2010, age 29. Now I am 24 and want to become a US citizen when filling out the form I saw this Selective Service question about living here between the age 18 and 26 and asking if I register to Selective Service. I went to the page https://www.sss.gov/regver/wfVerification.aspxto find my status and it says they don't have any records, meaning that I could possibly never register, which might be the case since I didn't know you have to register nor I received any letter asking me to register. I want to become a citizen but don't know what to do. Should I sent the form and say I wasn't living here at that age. Or should I say that I'm over 26 years old and did not register and have to explain, (I mean how can I explain that??)

any advice?

I'm a US citizen and I want to bring my dad to the US, but around 10 years ago he overstayed on his turist visa. 5 years ago the try to come back with his valid visa but was detained in the airport, the ICE put those codes on his passport. Now I want to bring him legally to the US. What should I do?

INA §212(a)(9)(B)(i)(II) provides that any alien who has been unlawfully present in the United States (presence in the United States after the expiration of lawful status or presence in the United States without being admitted or paroled) for 12 months or more is excludable for 10 years.

*only periods of unlawful presence after April 1, 1997 would count toward the bar contained in INA §212(a)(9)©.

Under INA §212(a)(6)C(i), an alien who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or entry into the United States or other benefit provided under the INA is excludable. The determination of materiality is a fact which would make an alien excludable or shut off a line of inquiry which may have resulted in exclusion.

Waiver eligibility hinges on the existence of a "qualifying relative".

I think for these two issues, the spouse or parent is the qualifying relative for this waiver. Since you are neither his spouse nor his parent, there is no one who can apply for this waiver for you dad unless his wife or his parents are US Citizens or LPR's and will experience extreme hardship due to his not being able to enter US AND not being able to go live in his country.

*Not completely sure but hope someone else will chime in.

Thanks for the information I really appreciate it

I'm a US citizen and I want to fill a petition to bring my dad to US. but here is the thing, he used to have a visa and stayed longer than he was supposed to(about a year or so), he went back to his country and after several years (8 years) he try to return using his tourist visa but he was stopped at the airport and they put the following on his passport 212(a)(9)(A)(ii) and 212(a)(6)©(i), he was returned on the next flight. My question is what do I need to do to bring him over? is he admissible for a waiver? will he never be able to make it to US? what should I do? Any help will be appreciate it

I think he stayed longer than 1 year. He was able to return without any problems back then, he only had issues when he tried to come back to visit me.

I just became a citizen and I want to fill a petition I-130 so I can bring my dad to the US, the only problem is that he was here in 2001 with a Visa and he stayed longer than he should have. On 2007 he came to the country but he was returned back to his country at the airport I think he signed a voluntary return instead of deportation (due him being longer than permitted back in '01). I want to fill the petition but I don't know if this will cause any problems or if it's going to be rejected. Can someone advise me in the matter? I will appreciate it.

I am married to a US citizen, this year we are going to be 3 years married. When can I apply for the citizenship? the years are from the date of my marriage or the date on my green card? thanks

Thank you very much F@rsc@p3, you've been really helpful!!!

I am sorry for being this ignorant but where can I get the Expedite Letter you talk about, or is that a letter that I have to do it myself, if so what should she put on the letter? Another question is that the package will be send to VSC (vermont service center) for the expedite process, do we have to pay extra for the expedite? and thanks for answering my other questions F@rsc@p3

I want some advise, I have to submit the I-751 to remove my conditional resident status witch is due in April this year but my wife is on active duty with the army serving in Afghanistan and she will not return until September; How can I fill out this form if she is not here, do I need to send her the I-751 so she can sign it and return it back to me?

Does been in the army is considered to be employed with the U.S government or not? (question 10 on the form)

I will appreciate any help and assistance that anyone can provide.

thanks

The thing here is that we are going to declare taxes based on what we think she has earned, because for the same fact to not to get in taxes problems. Now the real deal is what information do i have to put on the form, do i have to put an estimate of what she earned so far, that is my real question, i do not want to lie saying that she has no income when in fact she had on this year., and because the I-130 form specifies clearly that she has a job. what can i do?

I have a question regarding the I-864, i didn't send the affidavit of my wife in the original package, because i thought it was not necessary since my co sponsor by herself exceeds the poverty guidelines required for the affidavit. My wife didn't have income from the previous years, and after i sent the package i received a letter telling me that i have to send her affidavit, basically i don't know how to fill the information of the Sponsor's income and employment. She is currently working since February but the thing is that she get paid cash and we don't have a record of how much she has earned so far. I thought putting no income in the form, but i already fill the other form with the information about her job. Can i fill the form with not income or O (zero)? Will that cause me trouble? which is the best way to fill out the information based on this?

Hello

I sent my application in october then this moth i received a letter from the uscis, i'm not going to write everything but this is what basically says:

Request for Initial Evidence (i-485)

You are ineligible for interim employment authorization pursuant to Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 103.2(B)(10)(ii) until ninety (90) days after missing initial evidence is received.

F (10) form I-864 Affidavit Support was submitted; however, it was not from the petitioner/sponsor.

In order to process your application further, submit a completed and signed Form I-864 for the petitioner/sponsor listed on form I-130 or form I-129F.

I (27) The joint sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, must be a United States Citizen, United States National, or Lawful permanent resident of the United States.

In order to process your application further, submit evidence of the joint sponsor's status.

My question is that i thought that my wife couldn't make the affidavit of support because she started working this year, so basically i thought that she did not acomplish the requirements needed for the affidavit of support.

The person who made the affidavit is an us citizen, do i have to send a copy of her passport or a copy of any other her id?

Does my wife have to fill out the i-864 without having the tax returns of the previous years?

Do i have to wait 90 days for the employment authorization starting the date when they receieved the first application or the day they will receive the documents missing?

I will appreciate your help, thank you

I want to know what is the best way to send the forms for the AOS (I-130, I-485, G-325A, I-864 and I-765), should i send it all together in one single package or should i do it separate except for those that need to be together (I-130 G-325a etc).

I got married in august but until now I had finished filling all the documentation that I need for the AOS (I-130, I-485, G-325A, I-864 and I-765) I received advice from a paralegal on how to fill the form, but the paralegal had to move to another state and could not continue. I ask her about the fees that i have to pay for the forms, as I understand I though I had to pay:

$1010.00 I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Of Status

$355.00 I-130 Relative Petition

$340.00 I-765 Employment Authorization

But she told me that I don’t have to pay the $340.00 for the employment authorization if I’m filling the I-485, that the only thing I have to do is to make a money order of $1010.00 for the I-485 (which like she told me will already include the cost of the I-765) and another of $355.00 for the I-130.

I not really clear on that but because I cannot see the her (the paralegal) again and I don’t want make a mistake to send the package only to see it returning because i needed to make another money order for the Employment Authorization

Do I have to pay for the complete fees or just do it like she said. I will appreciate any help.
