Selective Service and address question

I am 27 years old now. I didn't know there is a SS need to be register between age 18-26. Now I am trying to get citizenship.
I read some of post from form. People suggest to fill out Selective Service's Questionaire Form.
My friend had same problem. But he said that he didn't know about SS during the interview. Should I do the same thing? and do I really need to attach Selective Service's Questionaire Form along with N-400.

about address, in the past 5 years i moved about 3 times. my driver's license and tax return are still my parent's house address. which didn't change in the past 5 years. is it alright to say that i didn't move in the past 5 years on N-400?

I worked for one company in the past 5 years, but relocation 3 times. Can I just write my last location's address on N-400, or should write all 3 of them?

thank you

Your selective service problem is not exactly uncommon. Here's the relevant part of what the USCIS adjudicators field manual says about that subject:

(C) Applicant Between the Ages of 26 and 31 . In cases where the applicant has filed for naturalization between the ages of 26-31, he no longer has a duty to register with Selective Service [50 USC 453(a)]. However, you can still deny the application if the applicant knowingly and willfully failed to register with Selective Service when he was younger than 26 [50 USC 462(g)]. Note that the burden of proof falls on the applicant to establish that the failure to register was not knowing and willful. See General Counsel Opinion 98-6 and Chapter 72.4 of this manual. The applicant should provide USCIS the status information letter discussed in the memorandum located in Appendix 74-7.

These applicants must establish that they did not knowingly and willfully fail to register, and should be advised to:

• Contact the Selective Srevice and complete the Selective Service's Questionaire Form (Males born after March 29, 1957);

• Receive a 'status information letter' from the Selective Service;

• Send the status information letter to the USCIS as discussed in Appendix 74-7.​

So basically yes you need to get the SS letter, attach a copy to your N-400 and also take a copy to the interview.

I don't have much advice for your address issues. Its a bit late to be changing address now, especially if that would entail moving districts. As far as I can tell, USCIS regards the address on your drivers license as your official residence. Make sure everything matches, or expect to be questioned on it during the interview.
