Mga kabayan, pwede ba gamitin yung philippine driver's license sa US hanggat wala pang US license?

It would depend on the State you're in. Check the DMV website of your POE.

Mga kabayan, pwede ba gamitin yung philippine driver's license sa US hanggat wala pang US license?

Uy Azcott, dito ka na ba sa US?

Tagal ka di nagparamdam ah.

Ang pagkakaalam ko, pwede mo lang gamitin ang philippine driver license mo dito kung ang visa mo na gamit ay non immigrant visa like B1/B2, H1B etc.

Pag immigrant na, kailangan mo na yung US driver license.

Just to be sure, visit mo yung website ng DMV kung san state ka pupunta.

Medyo di nga fair, like sa New jersey. Pag Working visa (H1B) ang dala mo, written test lang kukunin mo at wala ng behind the wheel test.

Pero pag immigrant ka na, both test kukunin mo.

Yes, go to DMV and they will issue you a temporary license,

I was issued a 60 days temporary license then...

Good luck with your exams, both written and actual,...

Na miss ko nga mag post dito sir. Hehehe. Wala pa po kami sa US kase may inaasikaso pa po e. sa NY po kaya sir pwede mag drive gamit philippine license? Gano din po katagal ang process sa POE? Kelan po uwi nyo sir ekto?

It would depend on the State you're in. Check the DMV website of your POE.

Thank you po.

Kailangan po ba mag exam muna bago po makakuha ng temporary license? New York po kami. I was hoping pwede po ako mag drive. Yung GC and SS# po pano po pala yun?

Sa Nov 3 uwi ko, then Nov 19th balik namin dito.

Sa POE, depende kung gano kadami yung tao and gano kabilis yung Immig officer.

Sa Newark ka ba o JFK?

Kung sa JFK, baka abutin ka ng 2 hours since sobrang busy sa airport na yan.

Yung sa akin dati dito sa LAX, inabot ako ng 1.5 hours.

Medyo magulo yung nakalagay sa DMV new york, kaya di ko masasabi sayo kung pwede ka mag drive using your phil license.

Mas maganda na itanong mo na mismo sa DMV by giving them a call o punta ka na mismo sa office nila para sigurado.

Sandali lng po pla kayo dito. Jfk po POE. Wala nga po naka indicate sa dmv website ng NY kung pwede po mgamit temporarily yung Phil. License. Sana pwede po. Hehehe. Sir, yung anak ko po may annotation yung visa. Nag positive po kse cya sa skin test. Pano po yun? Tsaka matagal po ba ang interview sa POE?

You can use your Phils. Driver's License for 30 days,

but I would not risk driving without a temporary license issued by the DMV.

And yes, you need to pass the written exam first in order to get a temporary license.

Good luck...

Regarding sa anak mo, bibigyan ka ng instructions ng immig officer kung ano gagawin nyo.

I think kailangan mo pumunta sa local health facilities dyan sa NY para ma clear sya.

Actually wala namang interview, sasabihin lang sayo na welcome to USA.

Ang matagal ay yung paghihintay at pag process ng papers nyo.

Minsan kasi madami ka makakasabay na first time immigrant din.

Nang time ko, 4 na eroplano yata kami magkakasabay na dumating kaya medyo mahaba pila.

Nakabili na ba kayo ng ticket? Kung EVA sasakyan mo at sa Nov 19 alis mo, magkakasabay tayo malamang hanggang taiwan.

Yung GC, hihintayin mo lang sa mail to.

Yung SS, depende sa pag filled up mo ng DS-230.

May nakalagay kasi don na i check mo kung gusto mo yung immigration na mag process ng SS mo otherwise, wag mo check and ikaw na personally pupunta sa SS office.

Yung SS ko dati, dumating sa mail ng 8 working days while yung GC, halos inabot ng 1 month.

Ok lang naman na ma delay yung arrival ng GC, pwede mo naman gamitin yung immigrant visa mo as your temporary GC.
