Here's a question for ya'll ... Is it even worth getting Dave's SSN & DL before the interview? Won't he have to get a new SSN once our cases are approved?

I think that DL is the same no matter the status (check in your state), and SSN will stay the same for his entire life, but the card itself may say that it is valid with proper work authorization document. You will have to just update his status with SS Administration after he gets his Green Card and after he gets his citizenship. I am not totally sure about that, but that's what I heard.

Check with your local DMV about the DL. I gave mine a call and they were really helpful. I can't get one until I get my green card... I'm in "limbo". Since I'm adjusting from a B-1 visa I'm not eligible... plus the expiration date on the I-94 has passed. If he is eligible to get one now I don't think he he has to get a new one after his green card comes. But usually they require a SSN or a letter of ineligibility from SS in order to get your DL.

Also... get this... I have to take a drivers written test and road test in order to get my DL here. I've had a DL for 12 years and not so much as a speeding ticket... haha so silly.

Here's a question for ya'll ... Is it even worth getting Dave's SSN & DL before the interview? Won't he have to get a new SSN once our cases are approved?

Yes, when your EAD arrives, you can get a SSN.

I've already done the research for his DL. Once he gets his EAD/AP card, he's eligible for a SSN. With that he will have to sit for the written/practical exam & then get a provisional license. After 6 mos. he can get an unconditional license.

I am most excited about Dave getting his license. I am sooooo tired of driving! Plus it will be a huge sense of freedom for him. Right now, he feels like a kid. "Mom? Can you drive me to the store?" LOL

Poor guy :(

When he gets his license, make sure he doesn't register to vote. It is only for citizens. The IO at the interview may register him with Selective Service if he is below the age of 26. Selective Service registartion is something he will need when applying for citizenship (only if he was present in the US before the age of 26).

finally got a date for my interview. July 12th. dancin5hr.gif

When he gets his license, make sure he doesn't register to vote. It is only for citizens. The IO at the interview may register him with Selective Service if he is below the age of 26. Selective Service registartion is something he will need when applying for citizenship (only if he was present in the US before the age of 26).

Happy for you.

Yes, my husband hasn't turned 26 yet, so before we left the IO made sure to print out all the info for selective services and told us it would be crucial if we apply for citizenship.
