from age 18 through 25. Please note: Resident Alien Card (Green Card) is not valid as proof of the
date of entry to the United States.
I am/was a non-citizen who entered the US as lawful nonimmigrant on a valid visa and remained
in the U.S. on the terms of that visa until after I turned 26. Documentation Required: For example,
if you entered the United States on an F-1 student visa and remained in that status until your 26th
birthday, you would need to provide documentation indicating that you were admitted on an
F-1 visa and attended school full-time as required. Acceptable documentation for this situation
includes a copy of your I-20 form or a letter from the school(s) you attended indicating your full-
time attendance as a non-immigrant alien. The same requirement applies for all non-immigrant
statuses. Please note: If, at any time, your citizenship status changed before the age of 26, you
may have been required to register with Selective Service. For example, if you were a male who
became an eligible non-citizen on your 23rd birthday and you were no longer on an F-1 student
visa, you were required to register at that time. If this scenario is representative of your situation,
please address your circumstance for not registering in Part C.
Part C – Selective Service Explanation

Status Information Letter from the Selective Service. (To request the Status Information Letter please
