I arrived here with a B1-B2 Visa in 1995. At that time I was 22 years old. With this type of visa I had a six months permission to stay as a visitor. However, I didn't return to my Country until I became a permanent resident in 05/2004 I was already 31 years old and I never heard of the Selective Service. We even had a lawyer prepared and file my application to become a permanent resident and he never mentioned Selective Service.
So as for the question. "Are you a male who lived in the United States at any time between your 18th and 26th birthdays in any status except as a lawful nonimmigrant? I guess my answer should be Yes?. Because I was "out of status" and unaware that I was required to register with selective service?.
If I say yes then, should I just attach a statement explaining why I did not register to the N-400 application? or
should I file a request for "Status information letter" from the Selective Service?, or should I do both.
If someone could help please and thank you.
