good luck! btw, does anyone know if that post-decision activity is an indicator of uscis actually mailing/sending the GC? is this something that needs to happen prior to getting it in the mail? my GC production was aug 4th and still havent rec'd it - by calculations, it takes a week to 10 days for them to send it - guess i should be expecting it sometime this week (?)

Yes I do have a Japanese drivers license and it's good for a year in Hawaii BUT I wanted to get the Hawaii's drivers license as soon as I get SSN because I can use it as my ID :thumbs:

You live in Illinois? if so then he can use his Japanese drivers license for 90 days...so he should start study for Illinois drivers license...I think he need to take both Written and Road tests.

The Official Web site for Illinois Secretary of State

http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/drivers/drivers_license/dlfaq.html

I will be working in/moving to Illinois. How do I obtain a driver's license?

Drivers moving to Illinois may use their valid driver's license from their home state or country for 90 days. You may obtain an Illinois driver's license or identification card only if you are becoming a legal resident of Illinois. If you have a valid driver's license from another state or country, you may use it to drive in Illinois throughout your stay (if you do not plan to become a permanent resident of this state). Illinois does not recognize the international driver's license.
