A green card holder over 18 must register for Selective Service when applying for citizenship — does this mean I could actually be drafted?
I’ve heard that a green card holder over 18 is required to register for Selective Service when applying for citizenship — I’d like to know if this Selective Service System registration could actually result in being drafted into the military.
Yes, both citizens and green card holders between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to register. However, this is not a requirement to actually serve in the military — it’s simply a registration requirement in case of a draft.
