>> I don't know much about the jury selection process

Me neither, and my guess is, neither do they!  

I was called for jury duty last year, but I'm not a US citizen!  I'm a legal 
resident, and a tax payer, so I thought since I may need the justice system 
some day, they could ask me to serve it too.  But I did call first, to make 
sure.

The lady told me I didn't have to go, the "invitation" had been a mistake.  
So 
I asked where they got my name from, and she said they get people's names 
when 
they register to vote.. so I said I'd never registered to vote, I can't vote 
here!  She didn't know what to say.
