<p>"The Social Security Administration did not confirm that you are a U.S.
citizen. You must provide your school with documentation of your citizenship
status before you can receive federal student aid."</p>
<p>I've noticed many people are having the same problem. I became a citizen through naturalization like 3 years ago. Am I missing something? I just pledged, got my certificate and went home. Was I supposed to report to social security or something? I am definitely a citizen (got my certificate to prove it), why is it showing that I am not a citizen? Should I wait till the schools contact me, or should I contact the schools? (and should I go to a social security office to fix the problem?) Will this delay my FAFSA? I submitted kinda close to the deadline (feb 1); will this affect my submission date at all? </p>
<p>Secondly...</p>
<p>"The Selective Service reported that you have not registered with them. If
you are female or were born before 1960, registration is not required.<br>
Otherwise, if you are not yet registered, are male, and are 18 through 25 years
of age, to receive aid you must do one of the following: (1) answer "Male" to
Item 21 and "Register Me" to Item 22 by selecting the 'Make Corrections' button
at the bottom of the page, (2) complete a Selective Service registration form
at your local post office, or (3) register online at Selective</a> Service System: Welcome. If you
believe you have already registered or are exempt, please contact the Selective
Service at 847-688-6888."</p>
<p>I registered by mail like a week before i submitted Fafsa; should I just wait till the selective Service get my mail? Or should I call Fafsa?</p>
<p>After you become a citizen, you do need to get in touch with Social Security so that they can change their records. If you look at your original Social Security Card, it might have a notation printed on it that warns a potential employer to double-check your employability under your old visa status. In the past when people became permanent residents (greencard status) they popped by the Social Security office to get a new card that didn't have that information. I don't know if that has changed in recent years.</p>
<p>Find out where you closest Social Security office is and get this fixed.</p>
<p>As to Selective Service, check the website again for a telephone number or a place where you can make an e-request to verify that your registration has been processed.</p>
<p>Then you can call FAFSA and/or your colleges and make sure your files are updated with them.</p>
<p>There is a check status function on the selective service website. Apparently I am still not in the data base yet; Should i just pick the "register me" option on FAFSA just to make sure? Or should I wait a few more days.</p>
<p>I called FAFSA ppl, they just told me if I've registered, I don't have to do anything else. Should I check with the colleges to make sure?</p>
<p>I really appreciate the help guys. My parents aren't fluent in English so they can't help much. I can't express how much I appreciate the help i have received from this forum.</p>
<p>I have the same issue too, my SAR states that they don't have enough info to determine that I'm an eligible noncitizen so I must
provide additional documents to prove my immigration status...</p>
<p>What I did is that I checked out the websites of those schools I applied to, and noticed that they will probably notify me if
additional documents are needed</p>
<p>Originally, I was going to send them the additional documents (my passport, residency cards...etc.) to prove my immigrant status</p>
<p>Since someone on the board said do not send them anything they did not request, I guess I'll have to wait until them request me
to do so</p>
<p>Now I'm concerned that do the schools work on your financial package anyways as soon as they receive your FAFSA report
despite you still have to provide additional documents to be eligible for financial aid?</p>
<p>Or they'll wait until you provide them the info in order for them to start working on your financial package which will also delay
your financial aid progress?</p>
