Non Citizen / Alien:
If you entered the United States for the first time after your 26th birthday, you must provide documentation to support
your claim. Valid documentation includes: entry stamp in your passport, I-94 with entry stamp on it. If you entered the
United States illegally after your 26th birthday, you must provide proof that you were not living in the United States
from age 18 to age 26. Please note: your Resident Alien Card (Green Card) is not valid as proof of entry to the United
States.
If you entered the United States as a valid non-immi
grant alien, and remained in that status to your 26th birthday, you
must provide documentation to support your claim. For example, if you entered the United States as an F-1 Student,
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 documents for this situation include
copies of your 1-20s or a letter from the school you attended indicating your full time attendance as a non-immigrant

of your visa, or overstayed your visa and became an undocumented alien.
You should provide as much information as possible. We will use the information you provide to determine your
registration status.

documentation which indicates this as well.
