non-citizen.

should be a mute point...but it'll be a bugger to get rejected because

I'd go for the sign up if I were you Bob. We can always get Ray to shoot
you in the foot if the worse comes to the worst!

Hmm, did you never stand in line at the post office and wondered what this
colorful brochure about "Men 18-25..." was all about?

Aye, tell me about it, though I ain't got my greencard yet, it's
something that I said I'd sign up for when either I do get it, or at
least the AOS interview :D
No need risking it either way just yet :)

Holy $@#&........
my citizenship interview is coming up in 2 weeks, i am in the same
situation as you are, never did registerd with SS, but I thought as
long as you have a good moral character they can not deny your
citizenship? most people just don't know about this SS thing, this
including myself also.

Not registering for Selective Services, if you were required to,
indicates lack of moral character...
Since for citizenship, you have to demonstrate good moral character in
the last 5 years before applying, waiting until age 31 before applying
may help.

Yes, if you are over 26 when you take up residency in the US, note I did
not say become a permanent resident, then you are free and clear. But
read the criteria on the Selective Service site and you will see that
there are only a handful of people who do NOT have to register. Your
classification "pending AOS" is not one of them.
We don't have a draft at present and it is really unlikely that it will
occur in the near future or before your 26th birthday so why not just
register and get it over with. If you are drafted, you are going to run
like hell back to merry old England anyway so what's the difference ;-)

Aye, that's very true indeed :)
Though I'm still holding out until I get an interview date, once I do,
I'll sign straight up... just postponing the inevitable I guess :)

I am not sure what the INS's definition of good moral character are?
Can someone here give me an example?
Yes Joe, my 37th birthday will be coming up next month, at this time
I'll just leave it to the examiner to decide my citizenship.

Some one that hasn't been naughty....no drugs, fraud, that kind of
thing....that and dodging selective service...

Maybe he thought the title sounded too X-rated and did not look at it? :)

The following web page (by an immigration lawyer) provides useful
background on this issue: http://www.shusterman.com/natz-ss99.html
I'm not sure what, if any, evidence will be sufficient to convince the
USICS that someone's failure to register with Selective Service (if
such registration was necessary) was an honest, innocent mistake and
not "knowing and willful". The original poster might want to discuss
his situation with an experienced immigration lawyer before proceeding
further.

I am too old, but I only found out about Selective Service here.
I have yet to see a poster, might be worth looking in your PO, might be
a way out.

Actually surprised that no one, including myself, has mentioned that the
USCIS sometimes, and the operative word here is sometimes, registers a
pending adjuster for the selective service without their even realizing
it. There have been several men in the past on the marriage-based forum
that have said they were surprised when they went to register to find
that they already were and when they questioned this they were told that
the then INS had registered them when they filed their petitions.
