ugh, my international driving licence (which is a translation of my frnech driving licence) wasn't enough for them, they want an original french translation >.<, where am I gonna find a stupid french translator here now >.<

I'd offer, but I don't think I count as 'official'

I wish >< . Drue told the lady he could get me a translator certificate in 24 hours via the web, so I could certify my own translation , but the lady was smart, and said I they wouldn't accept that

HEISABLE....YOU DID IT!!!! All those months of waiting and you're finally there. Congratulations you must feel fantastic

Mrs. Dog, quick Brit question for you - did you ship much stuff and if so who did you use?

Gonna post in t'other forum about this but Parcel Monkey quoted me £200 for a single box!! Admittedly a v heavy box but still struck me as a bit rude...

Been at home with the parentals this week going through my stuff in the attic deciding what to take and what not to take...quite tough, as because my parents are separating what I leave behind may not be kept it was a good trip down memory lane though and I'm quite a sentimental soul so I'm keeping all my hundreds of photos - even if they make up most of the weight!! My 'my first haircut' certificate with a lock of my hair from Feb 85 was a particular highlight...

Oh and thought you'd like to see a pic of the dress I've bought for me and Jason's blessing here in the UK on August 21st...it's SO girly it practically needs a health warning

I cannot stand hearing this! The driving place told me that we have to take a test to get a licence in SC, but said they weren't sure and to call the "international office in Rock Hill, SC, whose phone service just tells you to leave a message and they will call you back. Well, 7 days have passed and I'm still waiting for the call back! Can't stand it!

I went to get my SSN number last week. Went into the place, was told it would be a 2 hour wait, at least, no seat free! Couldn't face it, so I left! I live 30 miles from this SSN office, will have to steel myself to try again next week. And Mr Dog has to take the day off work to drive me, cos I can't drive myself as no licence, and it's $120 for a taxi there and back, no buses. Aargh!

Unfortunately, the UK citizen have to take a test, cos you drive on the wrong way lol. Fot the SSN, it really sucks ... If you want, try to go to the SSN of Laurens, they kinda know about the K1 visa, cos I've been there lol.

You don't need a US Drivers license to drive in America. In most states you can drive using your French drivers license for up to 1 year. South Carolina allows 5 years...

"(6) A citizen of a foreign jurisdiction whose licensing procedure is at least as strict as South Carolina's, as determined by the Department of Motor Vehicles, who is at least eighteen years of age, who is employed in South Carolina, and who has a valid driver's license issued by that jurisdiction may drive in this State for five years if the foreign jurisdiction provides a reciprocal arrangement for South Carolina residents. The provisions of this item also shall apply to the dependents of foreign nationals who qualify under this section."

So go ahead and have fun driving your car around.

Oh what a helpful, knowledgeable young man you are! THANK YOU! You are more knowledgeable than the people who work at SC Dept of Motor Vehicles!
