For each period shown, you must provide documentation that shows you entered the United States as a valid non-immigrant
and that you adhered to the terms of your visa. For example, if you entered the United States as an international 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, attended school full-time as required, and either left the country or changed status when required. Acceptable
documents may include copies of your I-20s, visa, and transcripts, or a letter from the school stating the dates you attended there
as a full time international student. If OPT is authorized, the copy of the I-20 must reflect this. If you were on an H-1 visa, you
must provide documentation of your arrival/start date and a copy of the approved “Notice of Action”, an official company letter
showing your authorized dates of employment, or a W2 form showing you worked for the company that sponsored your visa.
The same applies for all non-immigrant statuses held. You must show your arrival/start date and documentation that shows you
remained in good status for the entire period. If you left the country, send a copy of the date stamp showing your arrival back

into your country. If you remained in the US and requested a change of status, send a copy of the approved “Notice of Action”
you received from USCIS.
You must include any times that you entered the United States illegally or without inspection, (no documentation is necessary).
Likewise, you must list any times when you violated the terms of your visa, overstayed your visa, or for any other reason became
an undocumented immigrant.
You should provide as much information as possible. We will use the information you send to determine your registration status.
For a list of acceptable documents, please see our List of acceptable documents.
Please list your immigration history showing all arrivals, departures and other changes in status, starting with the date
of arrival that first put you in the United States between your 18th and 26th birthdays and continuing until you were past
your 26th birthday. Use a separate sheet if necessary.

provided.

•	

This form is for use only by men born after December 31, 1959, who are not registered and are now 26 years and older or

If you are denied a right, benefit, or privilege because you are not registered, submit a copy of your Status Information Letter
from the Selective Service System, and a separate letter in which you explain, to the best of your ability, the reasons for your
failure to register to the agency administering the right, benefit, or privilege. That agency, NOT the Selective Service System,

make any recommendations to determine your eligibility for any right, benefit, or privilege you are seeking.

a “status information letter” or documentation of their status from the Selective Service System to USCIS. If asked for a
