*sigh*

Here is the part where the delay at VSC causes hubby and I additional financial outlay and probably a HUGE headache. All because hubby's NJ Driver's License expires in a few days, and we need to renew.

But it's not that simple...

NJ is NOTORIOUS for having a difficult motor vehicle agency. Since many of the 9/11 hijackers had fake ID from NJ, they have toughened the process up to the point where it takes a minimum of 2-3 trips to accomplish anything. My big worry is that the know-nothing worker behind the desk will wrongfully not accept the NOA1 letter as proof of extention for his 2-year green card. Don't say it won't happen, it's exactly the type of thing that happens! When he first got here, he went for his DL, only to be told in error that he needed additional documents and that it would be no problem to return the next day. We did, only to be told that he never needed the additional documents, but now he couldn't get a DL because he needed to have 60 days left on his I-551, and today there were only 59! If the worker hadn't screwed up the day before, we would have been fine, but now he couldn't drive until he had adjusted his status and actually had a GC in hand. Now do you think that 60-day policy posted or printed anywhere? No. When we complained we were told it was not publicized on purpose, to "thwart potential terrorist". Well, all that meant to us is that he was now housebound for 7 months with no way of finding or getting to work.

So as it stands now, instead of using a 10-year GC to get a license that will expire in 4 years, he'll be given one that expires in less than a year and will have a huge red "CONDITIONAL" across the top. Then we'll have to go through the cost and process again. That is, if they decide to renew him at all. If they don't, his license will expire, and he will have to pay and take his driving test all over again when the 10-year card arrives! Sheeesh.

Wish us luck. I can't not have him able to drive again.

I have heard horror stories about renewing in NJ with the extension letter but I have also read of others that have no issues at all. It may just depend on your local office. Best of luck. Let us know how it goes.

I hear you sister! I was in the same boat and the only way I ended up driving during AOS was that I used my Canadian driver's licence. Our car insurance company kept sending us letters asking for my NJ driver's licence and I had to keep saying, it's coming! They were just about to cancel my policy when my conditional GC arrived and I could get my licence. A close call.

However, when I brought my extension letter to get my licence renewed this time (because it took VSC almost 6 months to approve my ROC) they didn't give me any hassles at all. Except that as you say it's only approved for a year. I was so relieved to get my licence renewed that I didn't care. btw, it only cost $10 (and an afternoon). I waited to the very last moment to renew my licence, and of course my GC arrived about 5 days later.

A big pain. If you have problems, it might be worth trying different offices. I'm not sure where you are in NJ, but I went to the Cherry Hill office. Here's another link for someone who had success in South Brunswick.

It took us two trips to the DMV yesterday, but hubby got his license renewed!

Got a hassle at the first agency (Randolph), so we left and drove all the way our to rural Warren County to another agency, where they were nice as pie. They guy even jokes that this means the GC should turn up tomorrow. Hopefully soon, no doubt it will when we are away on vacation!

It took us two trips to the DMV yesterday, but hubby got his license renewed!

Got a hassle at the first agency (Randolph), so we left and drove all the way our to rural Warren County to another agency, where they were nice as pie. They guy even jokes that this means the GC should turn up tomorrow. Hopefully soon, no doubt it will when we are away on vacation!

Are you serious? :angry: I am looking to apply for ROC in January next year and I already accepted the fact that Vermont office works like a baby snail. But it pisses me off to see that Randolph DMV office is so difficult when it comes to DL renewals based on the 1 yr GC extension letter. I live near by and that's the office I will probably use to extend my DL next year. What did they say?Why are they being so difficult?

Hi,

I couldn't help my curiosity I noticed in your timeline that you filled N-400 for citizenship. Are you counting 3years(-90 days) from the date you got you green card or from the day of marriage. I believe the true counting of 3 years for citizenship start from the date we get the green card, please someone correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks

The VSC has awakened from its Rip Van Winkle-like torpor, at least temporarily. ROC approval letter dated 6-30-11, received 7-5-11. Green card is presumably in the mail. Hoorah, si man! One more step after this for Mrs. T-B., si man.

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(!).
