Current situation:
I've been a permanent resident for almost 5 years now applying for my citizenship.
Im currently 33 years of age and got my GC when I was around 28.
Before I got my GC, I was illegally in the country since 18
Current Situation:
I want to apply for my Citizenship now and have a question about Selective Services.
What is a "lawful nonimmigrant"? and did I qualify as one as an illegal?
- For some reason my lawyer is telling me to check NO for the question:
"Are you a male who lived in the US at any time between 18-26 age in any status except a lawful non immigrant?"
Is he correct? I didn't think so, so I wanted to double check with you guys.
Please let me know as i'm very confused.
p.s. lets say if I do check YES, (but I didnt register and didnt know anything about SSS until now), do I just sent a simple letter explaining that I did NOT register but it was unintentional. will that be ok?
Thanks
