haha, I know. My husband keep saying "we will be fine!!"

He doesn't think having different addresses on DL is a big deal. oh well.

My husband dont change his DL's address too..keep saying its not a big deal and i dont have DL yet..

[Newbie608 103]

I am so stressed out with my driver license.

I moved in with my hubby 2 years ago but never changed my address.

After reading about different addresses on DL can cause trouble, I went to applied a new DL with my new address matching my hubby's.

It's been 2 months and I haven't gotten it yet. So I called, and turns out my application didn't go thought because my legal status.

I used my student status to applied the new DL, I am still going to school so I assumed it should work, but it didn't.

So I gave them my EAD and social today, but I doubt i will get it before the interview

Sigh! Hopefully its just me being paranoid about the DL issue.

Hey Linda, there is no need to be stressed. You are not required to bring your driver license to the interview. Your passport is enough for identification. Your hubby will need his DL or State ID or PP. The address on my DL is also different but I'm not worried about changing it right now because I have to change my name on it after I get my GC so I decided to wait. I'm taking my DL with me on that day only because I will be driving since hubby will be super crabby so early in the morning..

So quit worrying now lady... You'll be fine....

Thanks! I am bringing my DL just in case she asked if I have one, coz I've been in this country for 5 years so I think they will probably ask about it. And apparently I can't say "I don't have one" or "I do have one but I didn't bring it".

The hubby suggested instead of bringing the old license, I should bring the new temporary DL with my new address on it which is just a piece of paper.

What do you think?

You can bring both and just explain the situation to them. I doubt they'll ask for it though but you never know. Usually they would change your address and give it back the same day but I guess it depends on where you live too...

What evidence do you have? I don't have much...

Yea, you can do change of address right away with a sticker in the back of you license. But I order a duplicate one.

Cost me $25 and took so freaking long

I don't have much evidence either.

28 pics plus his family album that has our pictures in it.

2 years apartment least; joint House contract for our recently bought house; joint bank account since March; Phone bill since April 2011 that has both of our numbers on it but only his name; two cards from his family members after the wedding.

That's about it.

You have the most compelling stuff though, financial and pictures. I brought about 10 cards from various events but forgot to show them to the interviewer. Oh well, it all worked out.

I'm not worried about you at all, Linda. You'll be fine. I just hope they approve you on the spot. I had to wait 3 hours and I was a basket case. I don't know how people keep their sanity when they have to wait days or even longer.

That's more than enough if you ask me. I have joint bank account, joint utility,health insurance, dental insurance, auto insurance for both cars showing each other as drivers and lots of pictures( dating, wedding, movies, cook out with friends and goofy at home pics) I hope that's enough for now. We'll have a lot more in 2 yrs I guess..

Thanks! Feel much better now!

The funny thing is we are leaving for Vegas for friend's birthday that weekend, and I told my husband it will be a great weekend since we will get to celebrate my GC too! He looked at me doubtfully and said "oh man, let's hope you get approve on the spot, or you gonna ruin the whole vegas trip with your phone in hand every second checking status and cry about it" :lol:

Oh, speaking of the insurance! After we got married he tried to add my name to his insurance and also claim for the physical we paid out of our pocket. So we brought all the receipts and marriage certificate to his company. And we assumed they have everything they need. A month later we got a call from the insurance company said they never gotten our marriage certificate so I can't be added to his policy. then we just forgot about all this. So now I don't have joint insurance to bring to the interview

BTW your evidences looking good! I am sure we both will do well!

Let me ask everyone a question:

Out of everyone who applied for an EAD, how many of you are already working? My wife brought up a possible explanation for me not getting my EAD - because I already have a fulltime job. Thoughts?

I have a full time job for many years and still get one, so I don't think that has anything to do with it..

Well I'm all out of ideas, then. Pretty much everyone who filed in june, who didnt get an RFE, has theirs by now (or in production). This is really ridiculous. What the hell is the point of the EAD if you don't get it until after your interview?

I know. Its very frustrating. If I was in your situation. I would give my 2 wks noticce at current job knowing that my interview is in 4 days. At the interview, I would ask for a stamp if all goes well. Just explain to them that you have a job offer and you havent received an EAD..

its very tempting to go ahead and do so...

[dare448 2]

Yay!!! Husband received his EAD card today. :dance:

To IPv6Freely, I know it's frustrating but hang in there. You'll receive it very soon.
