Interview is very soon - help needed please.

[lmasterz]

First of all, thank you for providing such forum/website. Extremely helpful and informative.

now, my questions.

My interview is coming up very soon and I have a few concerns hoping someone can shed some light on.

1. Selective Service - I know I am registered and I verified it on the official site, however, I do not have or remember receiving the proof card which it mentions on their SSS website. If I request a proof card, it'll take time as mentioned "A registration acknowledgment card will arrive in the mail about 30 to 90 days after a man sends in his registration card. Keep this document in a safe place as proof of registration.". What can be done now?

2. I'm 24 years old. Graduated in December. Throughout my time as PR I was a student. Currently (and while I was a student) I'm unemployed. Thus, I did not file for any taxes at all throughout. Is that legally correct?

3. I've had 1 or 2 speeding tickets and another insurance violation which I've already taken care way back. Any concerns with those?

4. I currently have an ID of the state which I currently reside (and where my interview will take place). However, my DL is from my previous state of residence and never changed it. Will I be fine with just the ID?

5. Where can I find on this site or elsewhere some interview experiences, preferably someone similar to my case?

1. You don't need the card. Write your Selective Service number on the N-400 in the relevant space in question 33, and they can verify your registration if they want to.

2. Yes.

3. Traffic tickets -- there are 100 threads debating that. What is the "insurance violation"?

4. By acquiring a state ID of a different state, the driver's license you had before is invalidated*. I hope you're not still using the license to drive. Show the ID, shred the license or return it to the DMV.


*Some states have provisions for college students who claim residence in another state, allowing them to have a temporary license or ID in the state where they study without giving up the prior license or ID. However, even if your current state is like that, you can no longer benefit from that provision because you graduated several months ago. If you want to drive you need to upgrade your current state ID to a license, or else you could land in big trouble if you end up in court over a traffic offense or accident.
