Hi everyone,

 

Back here for advice. 

 

My Green card expires 3rd Sept 2021 and so does my instructional driving permit. I have the 18 month extension letter + valid foreign passport and of course social security number. Having read online, most resources say that the extension letter alone is not enough and you would need the I-551 / I-94  stamp. The same is stated on the DDS Georgia site, I am based in GA. You can refer to this page for more info: https://dds.georgia.gov/list-acceptable-real-id-documents

 

So now that they are not scheduling infopass appointments, how do I get my DL renewed? Will I not be able to drive or renew it for 20+ months till I get my GC?

 

Also, how can I post this question outside of this thread, do I need to find another relevant group? How do I create a post?

If you face issues at the first DDS office then try a different office. An example:

Thanks, I will try.

 

but it is pretty clear on their site that I-551 stamp or I-797A will be required. Also, agencies here are not well connected so DDS wouldn't know that infopass is not being scheduled currently. Il update this thread with how it goes tomorrow.

SRC seems to have had nothing coming out of their office re: biometrics for over a month...has anyone recently received a waiver or anything from them the last month? 

I haven't received any update for 30 days (AOS from F1). My friend who filed at the same time to MSC (CR1) got a biometric waiver letter two weeks ago.

According to the excel sheet that has April + May + June + July filers, some people still haven't received their biometrics and they filed in May. Just hoping that people are also still updating it as they receive information so times can be more accurate. I haven't received mine yet either, was hope by the end of Sep. at the latest/early Oct.

Google sheet for June 2021 filers
