Do you guys know how long can I use my philippines drivers license here in LA? Been here for only a week and Ialready tried driving. I can pretty much say I suck lol. Not used to having stop lights that actually works hahaha and there's just too many driving lanes . Having a hard time changing lanes and d**n freeways are scary lol. Any advice?? ??

i think this is exactly the reason why my fiance doenst want me to learn driving here in Phils :P ... he said he is very much willing to pay for driving lesson, he thinks it would be a lot better if i start from nothing and acquire skills when i get there.

Super idea. Start violating our laws by working illegally as a thank you for giving you a K-1 visa. Good luck with your hand job. Edited by aaron2020

Correct, above. Thread locked and administrative action taken against the OP for guiltlessly expressing intent to flout the law. This violates this Terms of Service provision: "Condone or instruct, either directly or indirectly, others on how to commit fraudulent or illegal immigration activities in any way, shape, manner or method."

In addition, conversation in Tagalog properly belongs in the Philippines regional forum only.
