Just got an update! My EAD card was sent this morning, so probably they will pick it up tomorrow and I will have tracking number assigned! Can't wait!!! Next step is getting DL! I was wondering can I just get an American DL based on my Bulgarian one or I need to take the test here? Probably they will ask me to take the test because my DL is in Bulgarian and I don't have International one! Well I don't have choice! Will study a little bit! Haven't done it for a while :D

Good luck everyone!

For DL You have to check in DMV for your state. Two months ago my husband called to DMV in South Carolina and they told him that I can drive with my Bulgarian DL 1 year.

In Alabama is the same. I was allowed to drive with my Bulgarian DL for 1 year during my J1 visa. My visa expired long time ago and my Bulgarian DL is from the old ones (only in Bulgarian :) Its not a big deal anyway because the written and the road test are $28 here and the DL is free after that! I need to spend the whole day in DMV :(

Thank you for saying that. I'm so ready to get my life moving lol (as i'm sure everyone on here is :) ) yes, we are very blessed! I have been reading threads from as far back as July and some people are still stuck in acceptance at CSS :/

Yes and no, I have jobs lined up and I don't know how long they will hold those positions open for me, it has been 1 month after graduation and I know that sounds like a short time but I live in a teeeny tiny town and jobs in my field are hard to come by. The only thing that is holding me back is that I dont have a social # and without that cannot run a back ground check :(
