Super helpful thank you so much! It says 3-5 currently.

I don't know about anyone else, but I found the employees at my SSA office to be completely useless. I was told that there is currently a problem with immigration and they're taking a really long time to verify documents (especially work permits) and that it can take 4-8 weeks. I nearly had a meltdown as I have a job lined up to start on the 5th July with my old company. I know they can push back the start date 1-2 weeks if I need it, but 1-2 months is too much so I'm hoping she just didn't know what she was talking about as after I told her about my start date of 5th July she said, oh you'll probably get it before then, you have a work permit you should get it faster than anyone else -_-...she was also on Instagram on her phone the entire time I was being served so...

Totally different experience when I accompanied hubby to have his SS card replaced. He just showed his EAD card, the person assisting him was so accommodating. We were there no more than 15 minutes. 5 mins after he arrived, his number was called. The Garden Grove office was so efficient, hubby made it a point to thank them for their fast and efficient service..

I never found any clear information on the site so i desided to just go to the place..

Online you have the info that you can drive on a foreign license for a year since entering BUT it also said that once you are a RI resident you have to get a RI license....

So i asked at the place and they said a year since entering usa eventho i got greencard now i can still drive until december (and she also said...if i leave and comeback it gets a reset tho im not rlly sure about that...lol)

Anyways since i was there anyways i was like F it ill give the test a try and passed for my learners permit (with no need of supervision yey)

Now i only have to find a car for the road test...since my husbands car is registerd in mass and not rhode island... such drama!!!

Can you get a rental for the day? Or, maybe call the local driving schools and see if they allow usage of their vehicles for the test, if you've not taken lessons with them?

That's great!!! Good luck for you!

I don't think it should've come with that. Maybe they thought your Ssn was for work only cause you showed them the ead? Ssn workers are dumb. Oh well... I don't think you'll have any problems because of that though.

Any comment or experience will be appreciated :)

Here in ny there are driving schools who you can pay to take you to your road test. You should look into it.
