thanks so much everyone!

Tell me this...and I know each state is different, but can Chris get his Drivers License now?

We tried to get it after we got the Social Security but the k-1 was almost expired so it would have been pointless.

I honestly have looked for the information and haven't been able to locate a true answer. Any advice here??

Hi All! I'm starting to feel nervous, what with my AOS interview scheduled for tomorrow... I'm not obsessing over it like I did over my VISA interview, but still! I'm a wreck. I really hope it goes well.

Congrats, Sol, Cecy and Ajames! I've got the EAD, now I hope I can follow your footsteps along the job and greencard paths.

Iya,

Good Luck and God Bless YOU !!!

hi all!

Just checked online and my I-485 says that they rec'd my paperwork on Oct 1, BUT my I-765 says that card went into production on the 12th. Does this mean my wife will get an EAD card and THEN her green card after an interview, or did we just bypass the interview and get the green card?! Any ideas?

thanks

That means that the EAD card production was ordered. Green card is the I-485. If you do not have to go to an interview, you will receive notice that your case was transferred to CSC. Otherwise, you will receive an interview notice in the mail.

Congratulations on the EAD!

Hi hi! My interview went well :) Got a really nice officer (didn't see any not-nice people in that office.. just in the building :P) and it was all pretty basic. No mind-boggling questions, though kinda repetitive (all those questions in the form, again.. meh). We were told that he'll be recommending our case for approval. :D

thanks so much everyone!

Tell me this...and I know each state is different, but can Chris get his Drivers License now?

We tried to get it after we got the Social Security but the k-1 was almost expired so it would have been pointless.

I honestly have looked for the information and haven't been able to locate a true answer. Any advice here??

Well I can tell you what happened to me 2 years ago. I was with a J1 visa and came in to get my DL. I had already received my SS card.

I studied the driving rules booklet, then we came in (can't remember if we had an appointment or not), I took the written test. Great, easy and painless.

Then I was told by the NC DMV that they have no agreement with my country so I had to take the driving test too. Bummer! But it was painless too.

I received my DL, good until my 30th birthday (so about 8 years).

Now at the time there wasn't the rule that your DL is only good for as long as your visa. So in your husband's case it might only be good for the lenght of his EAS until he receives the GC. I didn't have that problem when I renewed it but you should expect that.

I hope this help and you can always PM me if you have more questions.
