NON

- 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, or
a letter from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service
(USCIS) indicating the date you entered the United States.
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-immigrant
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 I-20Ìs or a letter from the school
you attended indicating your full time attendance as a
non-immigrant alien). The same thing applies for all non-immigrant
statuses. You must explain, if at any point, you violated
the terms of your visa, or overstayed your visa and became
an undocumented alien.

use the information you provide to determine your registration
