Hi everyone,
My husband and I are eligible to apply for N400. We are thinking of applying without the help of any attorney and hence my question to this forum. While preparing for the application we realized, that my husband was required to but never registered with Selective Service. He was a lawful immigrant, under age 26, and was present in the United States. We didn' know that we had to register to this service. He's now 30. I'm not sure if he needs to Register now or just Request for Status Information Letter from Selective Services, or is he required to do both? I also found out from sss.gov that it takes about 135 days to get that letter from their office. Is that really true? Does that mean we need to wait for that long before we can apply for N-400? Or can we apply without that paper and send an explanation letter informing the reason for not providing the letter with N400 application?
I would really appreciate everyone's response and experience in this matter. Thank you all for taking the time in reading the question.
Thanks in advance,
