Hi,
I got approved recently (Oct 18, 2004) and got my PP stamped (Oct 25, 2004). I received a letter from my attorney which says that if I am between 18 and 26 years, I should register in the nearest post office for military draft. This should be done to demostrate good moral character. The letter also says INS can deny me citizenship if i fail to do so willingly and without good reason. Since I am over 26 years of age I feel that I don't have to do that. However the letter says that if an applicant is between 26 and 31, INS may still look for the draft registration during the citizenship process.
I am confused my this. I will be more than 31 when I apply for citizenship(5 Years from now). Based on my attorneys letter I should not have a probelm even if don't register for draft. Is my inference correct? Please share your knowledge in this regard.
Thanks.
