please share exp and any advice
 
when was your asylum apporoved?before 26 or after?if before 26 ,then you should apply selective service right after you got asylum proved letter. if after ,then don't worry about it. otherwise ,you should contract selective service get some information why you didn't apply.
just tell the truth on your interviewing!
 
hi realfang
i got my asylum approved when i was more than 26 years of age and i got my green card when i was 31 and now am 35 you think i will have any problem during interview
 
Since you're 35 now it shouldn't be an issue:

Applicants Over 31 Years of Age
 Failure to register for Selective Service will generally not prevent a man who was over 31 years of age on the day he filed his naturalization application from demonstrating that he is eligible for naturalization. Even if the applicant was required to register and the applicant's failure to register was knowing and willful, the failure occurred outside of the statutory period during which the applicant is required to establish his attachment to the good order and happiness of the United States. The INS may, of course, consider a person's conduct before the beginning of this period. INA § 101(f) (last sentence) and § 316(e). If the INS denies naturalization to a man who is at least 31, based on his failure to register with Selective Service, the decision must state explicitly the basis for finding that the failure to register warrants denial of naturalization. As a practical matter, a male applicant over 31 years of age who failed to register with Selective Service should, ordinarily, be found eligible for naturalization unless INS has other evidence, in addition to the past failure to register, that demonstrates that the applicant is not well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.
