Sentence choice

I am not sure which one to choose. Is there a difference here?

I am not sure if I have been registered in the course.

I am not sure if I am registered in the course.

Anonymous I am not sure if I am registered in the course. So, just to be clear, are you asking if I goes with am ? CJ

Hi CJ.

No. I just want to know if both sentences are correct, and specifically the difference in meaning between 'I am registed' and 'I have been registered'?

So then you want to know if the sentences are correct, right?

And then the difference between am and have been? Is that right?

CalifJimAnd then the difference between am and have been? Is that right?
Yes, the difference in this specific sentence, as I feel that they both convey the same message, generally.

Yes. You are right here. Why do I feel that you are copying my style of asking questions, which is totally fine. haha

CalifJimCorrect. So you didn't have to ask, because you knew the answer. Is that right?
I just was not sure about if 'I am registered' could convey that the registering occurred in the past but now I am not sure about it (same as the present perfect). Or is it just solely related to the present in all terms as I explained?
