Responsibility of LPR --- Enlist in US Armed Forces

[goodluckgc2003]

Refer to the following link:

http://uscis.gov/graphics/citizenship/rights.htm#Maintaining Your LPR Status

I was just going over the rights and resposibilities for a LPR.

I found this in the responsibility section
Register with the Selective Service (U.S. Armed Forces), if you are a male between ages 18 and 26. See Register With the Selective Service for instructions.

"If you are a man and you are 18 to 26 years old, you must register with the Selective Service. When you register, you tell the government that you are available to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. The United States does not have a military draft now. LPRs and citizens are not asked to serve in the Armed Forces unless they want to. "


Interesting stuff......

Good Information. Thanks

Register With the Selective Service
If you are a man and you are 18 to 26 years old, you must register with the Selective Service. When you register, you tell the government that you are available to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. The United States does not have a military draft now. LPRs and citizens are not asked to serve in the Armed Forces unless they want to.
You can register at a United States post office or on the Internet. To register for Selective Service on the Internet, visit the Selective Service website: http://www.sss.gov. To speak with someone from the Selective Service, call 1-847-688-6888. This is not a free call.

You can also find information on the USCIS website http://www.uscis.gov.

"If you are a man and you are 18 to 26 years old, you must register with the Selective Service”

That’s available for every US legal resident and not just for permanent residents.
