US Immigration from Australia

Hi everyone

I have a question about getting a driving permit in California without a SSN with AOS processing.

I just got turned away from the DMV because they advised that if I apply for a drivers license it will void my AOS application and I have to wait for my SSN. This is the first I have heard about this.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of issue?

Thanks so much

Looking for any recent successes in being allowed to fly MEL to SYD in order to connect to a flight to the US.. or anywhere internationally really ! I am an Aussie citizen living in the US (LPR ) so I don t need an exemption to leave Australia ... but in order to fly out I need to fly through Sydney. Has anyone been successful in getting the NSW border exemption ? I m booked to fly into Sydney in a few weeks .. will quarantine in Sydney then fly to MEL to see my 92 year old parents who are finding the long lockdown really tough going. Appreciate the on the ground wisdom and insight Thx !

Hi there,

I've also had an old account (DJASP) banned because I tried to delete it.

May I request for you to reopen the account so I can take the steps necessary to fully delete it and all its content?

Thank you very much, have a lovely day!

I wanted to know whether people who do not live in NSW have been able to travel to Sydney for K1 Interviews during the times of COVID, especially in regards to Victorians travelling to NSW.

I haven't been able to find information about whether K1 Interviews are still happening at the moment, or whether people who live outside of NSW are able to travel for them during COVID.

If we can travel to NSW, what are the conditions for doing so? Is a permit required to enter NSW? Do you have to undergo the $3,000 14 day quarantine to go there? Or is travel to NSW not possible at all right now for one reason or another? Is the Sydney consulate even still doing interviews right now, or are they on hold? Any information, especially in regards to Victorians going to Sydney for an interview, would be very helpful.

My wife and I got married in very late 2018 under a K-1 visa. She now has a conditional green card. I think we are now within the 90-day window for filing I-751, so I started working on it today.

She hasn t changed her name officially and won t be changing it, but on Facebook she uses my last name and some people write mail to us calling her by my last name. Do we need to list that name on the I-751 as another name she uses? Or just keep it the same because she has never legally or professionally changed her name? She does sometimes receive mail with my last name (usually for stuff we buy online, not anything official).

If we need to list this as another name she uses, does it require explanation to USCIS?
