Hi All,

Few days back someone posted an article from murthydotcom, then that thread went into serious argument about copyrights. I did not read that fully. I guess that thread is deleted now from this forum. I tried to search murthdotcom but could not find that article. Can someone post the link for it. It talked about the Factors which INS considers before granting citizenship.

I would appreciate if someone could point me to that article.

Thanks in advance

Question

From JoeF's link:

Every male USC or LPR resident (except those on nonimmigrant visas) must register for selective service between 18 and 26 years of age. Failure to comply with this selective service registration requirement is a ground for denial based on a lack of good moral character if the person knowingly or willfully failed to register. According to an INS General Counsel Memo,3 failure to register raises concerns regarding good moral character, attachment to the principles of the Constitution, and being well disposed to the good order and happiness of the U.S., as well as the requirement that the applicant must be willing to bear arms on behalf of the U.S. when required by the law. An individual between 18 and 26 years of age who has failed to register would be denied naturalization. Individuals between 26 and 31 years of age who failed to register risk denial based on lack of good moral character unless the failure to register was not knowing and willful. For individuals over 31, the failure to register would be outside the 5-year period for good moral character but USCIS would want to be satisfied that the applicant is currently a person of good moral character.

==================================================

I was not aware of the highlighted text above. Is that true? I became a permanent resident after I turned 27. Did I still need to register with SSS? I have a status letter that says I was aged out when I became an LPR. Can anyone throw some light on this point?
