I can submit my I-751 removal of conditions from 10th February (my expiration date is 11th May 2025), however I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and due 3rd March. On the petition form it states "provide information on all your children". If I submit the form before birth, do I just leave this section blank? I wanted to get the form and evidence submitted before birth so I have time to concentrate on getting it correct.

I really struggled with finding the correct information and got very confused. The Texas DPS website (https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/driver-license) can be hard to decipher and understand so I thought I'd write what I did to help someone else. I managed to get this done within 7 weeks of entering Texas (11 May 2023). DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR CLASS C LICENSE ROAD TEST Proof of ID (I used my passport) PROOF OF LEGAL RESIDENCY - Endorsed I-551 stamped Visa or Green card 2 x proof of residency (I used a water bill and a bank account). If you're struggling with this you can use a Texas Residency Affidavit. The person you live with can sign this and give you their proof of address. If you are not married or related to this person they must come with you to the DPS office. Impact Texas Drivers Certificate. This is a FREE 2 hour course found here https://impacttexasdrivers.dps.texas.gov/ITAD/ Proof of insurance and vehicle registration for the car you'll be using for the test. If you don't own one you can sign to attest to this. Pass the written test - What I did personally is took an online 6 hour Adult driving course which included doing the written test online too. I would recommend doing this as its a good way to learn the signs and road rules of Texas. The test was pretty easy and was 30 multiple choice questions. I paid $28 for this through this website https://nationalhighwaysafetyadministration.com/.../texas... The test itself was super easy. It took about 10-15 minutes and was mainly stopping at stop signs, turning left and right onto roads and parallel parking between cones. I live in Dallas and currently most of the DPS offices here for license applications and road tests have a 3-5 month back up. You can sometimes get lucky and snag a cancellation appointment but its stressful constantly refreshing the website. You can do your test at any DPS office in Texas. I drove 2 hours away to Wichita Falls as they had lots of quick availability. All DPS offices are appointment only, do not try to walk in. You book online through the DPS website I listed earlier. If you want to do your test privately with a driving school YOU NEED A LEARNERS PERMIT FROM DPS first. I got scammed $70 by a drivers school that did not tell me this and I found it really hard to find information on if I did need a learners permit. Don't make my mistake! You DO NOT need a Learners permit to do your test with DPS. It cost me $32 and your license is automatically issued after the test if you pass. You are given a temp paper License and get your official one in the post. I hope this helps someone else.

Does anyone have experience with getting a Texas driving license? I've been reading https://www.dps.texas.gov/.../how-apply-texas-driver-license but I'm still very confused. Would love someone whose been through the process in the last few years, to explain exactly what I need to do.

For those that have interview dates 15-17 March, rail and tube strikes have been announced. The 15th is looking to turn into a general strike day. This may cause issues with you getting to and from the interview and also for embassy staff.

No I was unable as well. It advises to leave it 5 days whilst the system updates. Try again at the weekend.

Received my interview date this morning! DQ: 31/01/2023 IL: 7/02/2023 interview: 13/03/2023

Has anyone received their IL’s yet? I’m concerned I’ve seen no letter sent out since 12th January. Before now, they were quite regular in November and December for UK.

I just called visa Medicals and they have plenty of appointments left from the 9th Feb onwards. I thought I’d get it over and done with as I’m 1) scared of needles 2) concerned about lack of interview letters.

I’m getting concerned that I haven’t seen anyone in January receive a IL?

I just got DQ!!! I submitted 9th January

I couldn't see a thread for Jan 2023 filers so I thought I'd create one. We submitted ours today, 9th January 2023 and keeping my fingers crossed it goes smoothly and we get DQ. It seems like they are taking approximately 36 days to review documents currently.
