Wow. Fortunately I already have a valid license from the state to which I will be moving (back) that is still good for a couple of years. Hopefully they won't change it to anything "flagged as potentially suspicious" when I renew it! Well, I won't be in Texas anyway.

Maybe there is hope that Obama will help reverse this Bush-era type of legislation.

Obama is more of the same as evidenced by his actual politics... Don't you think so?

I am now a US citizen.

They want you to show proof every 6 months of your status. That seems ignorant for people with a 10 yr green card.

Done for 3 years or 10 years. Haven't decided yet.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

Texas is schizoid when it comes to immigrants. Regardless, my wife (with 2-year green card) got a Texas D.L. recently that's good until 2016 -- same as my new one.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Referencing other posts, I wish the people who were in charge of enforcing the laws actually KNEW the laws. And marking a Permanent Resident as "Temporary" is an outrage.

How will this affect all the other stuff that people do with a DL? Heck, it's the main form of ID here in the US. Sure, maybe it shouldn't change the way the DL is received, but don't tell me you can't imagine some poor confused bank teller refusing to let you open a bank account (hey, it's a Temporary ID). They never make these things clear enough to the people that they affect...

There, are you done outraging? Good.

Pretty much exactly 4 weeks after I applied for one, I received my TX DL card in the mail. Guess what? It looks like any other TX DL. Proper format, no special markings. Other than the new design my license (LPR) just like the wife's, who is a USC.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you have to show them when you went and applied for your TX DL? My fiance should be here in October and we want to get his license as soon after that as we can. Thanks for the info!

Hugs, Liz
