Hoping we get it sooner than that though. I really hope for November, I want to apply for a DL as soon as possible.

Also, I just returned to the US a week ago after being a month on vacation. Had no issues at the CBP with the extension letter, I think we were there for max 10 mins. They took my pic, fingerprints, asked if we still live in Hawaii and what are our jobs and that was it.

Hello everyone!

Can somebody please add me to the spreadsheet?

Mailed i-751 package: 05-09-16

NOA1: 05-10-16

Bio apt: contacted USCI 07-20. got bio letter 07/23. bio appt: 08/11

I've seen several may applicants with the same issue that I had where the bio apt took 3 months!

I wonder if this will make our cases take much longer than the ones who had the bio apt within the regular 1 month timeframe...

On little different topic but still relevant. Over the weekend I recieved the txt saying that I have been registered to vote for presidential election. Upon further looking into it, I found that Green card holders can not vote. So, I contacted our local registration office and removed myself from the list. I searched online and realized that few peoples have got in trouble for voting while being on the Green card.

I am in the midst of collecting documents to demonstrate that my name has been removed from the registration and I have never voted in any US election. This apparently matters when you apply for Cirizenship. Not sure its impact on the Green card extension; may be nothing to minimal.

You may know this already, but I had quite an eventful weekend to sort this out. So just wanted to share...

I did some limited research online and found (to my surprise) that GC holders can vote in local and state elections but not in federal elections. I used to think that GC holders can not vote at all, period.

Why can't you apply for a driver's license?

I thought, the only requirement for DL is proof of legal presence - temporary or permanent. With temporary (which is really not temporary but conditional) GC my wife got a DL that was going to expire the day her GC expires. But after she got the NOA1 the DMV in California extended the DL for another year.

However, now she is working in Ohio and Ohio gave her a DL that will expire in 4 years (this is even before the ROC).

So I am not sure why you cannot apply for a Hawaii DL right now?

It's not that I can not apply, but I don't want to go there twice for the same thing.

If I apply now with the extension letter, they are only gonna issue it until June 2017 when my extension letter expires. If I go with the gc, then I believe they'll issue it on 8 years. It's difficult to take time off work to do this thing, especially since I am saving all my vacation days in case I need to look after my 1 year old.

Yeah, mine is just until May 2017. I am at the DMV a lot since they would only give me 1 or 2 years on my DL.
