@marklivinglarge Sair112 didn't have to register for SS 'cause he was on a non-immigrant visa during his age of 18-26. International students are an exemption.

For Sair112...you can just show the officer when you transferred your non-immigrant visa to an immigrant visa, hopefully you were over 26 by then. Hence you don't have to prove anything after that.

I know "Sair112" did not have to register, but everyone is required to provide proof of registration with SSS (if any) ....there is a form that needs to be filled out and signed by the selective service administration to be handed over to the immigration officer when asked about selective service registration to avoid possible delays .. it does not hurt to be over prepared ....

It's called : Request for Status Information Letter

and here is the link ...

Some folks are not required to show proof of registration with the SSS, though.

per http://www.sss.gov/Status.html

Need a Status Information Letter or NOT?

No status information letters are required from the Selective Service System for :
...
Non-U.S. male on a valid non-immigrant visa
For example, if the man entered the United States as an F-1 student visa and remained in that status until his 26th birthday, he would need to provide documentation indicating that he was admitted on an F-1 visa and attended school full-time as required. Acceptable documentation for this situation include a copy of his I-20 form or a letter from the school he attended indicating his full-time attendance as a non-immigrant alien. The same thing applies for all non-immigrant statuses.

Speaking from my own experience. I entered the US when I was 27 years old, so I did NOT have to register for SSS but I had to provide a letter from SSS, my original passport and I-94 ...

As I said before, everyone needs to take as much proof as he/she can to prevent possible and necessary delay by USCIS. It does NOT hurt to be over prepared ..

Good Luck

I was asked 6 easy test questions ... the officer congratulated me , and asked me if I wanted to do the oath the same day ... and I said .." HELL YEAH "

Interview Experience

I've been checking this forum for the last 4 years and found the information very helpful. I had my Interview yesterday and was recommended for approval. The interview was very straightforward. The officer went over the questions in my application form. I did get asked a few dates from my Assylum application. I had a DUI in 1997, but have submitted the original court disposition in my N400 package. After 10 min of going over my N400 application I was asked the civil questions and written ones. Here is my time line:
Assylum Approved: 12/1996
Applied for a GC 2003
Green Carrd approved May 2006
N400 Mailed 3/1/2011
NOA received 3/7/2011
FP notice received 3/20/2011
FP Done 4/1/2011
IL Received 4/15/2011
Interview Date: 5/17/2011

Special note. The staff at the St. Paul, MN Application Support Center were wonderful. They worked with us to ensure that one of us (wife and I) could be with your young children while we were being fingerprinted, and were very friendly and helpful to our kids. They went above and beyond.
