It will be interesting when it is time for me to renew my DL
I got it easy in 2006 - got my greencard, SSN, passport, and bank acct statement showing address and I got DL that expires in 2013. I guess I was pretty lucky or they did not know what they were doing. I was even asked if I wanted to be registered voters
Uhmmm yeah...sure why not

Joe, Mags, and my husband all applied around the same time last year. I guess that is when the chaos kicked in. Mags only applied for a State ID and still had to go through CVP.
I suppose it would be worth the time to make a list of instances in which you would have to go back to CVP. If this would also include renewals even if your address did not change and if PR holders of out-of-state licenses also have to go through this process.

I just told a co-worker about all of this and he said "So is it all worth it? Maybe I would go back after all of that and still nothing."

So the answer to the question about renewal and CVP is:
QUOTE
Any foreign national who is residing in the United States and wants to apply for an identification card, operator license or learner permit - or renew a document that he or she already has - should contact a license branch and ask to apply through the Central Verification Process (CVP) to verify the applicant's immigration status.
They make it almost sound like they won't do it regardless if you ask or not. At this point, it seems to be noted in the computers to ask or demand. Yesterday, it basically locked the employee there out from edititng information without going through CVP first in that instance. Though 2013...still plenty of time to leave the state!

I think 5 years is doable.....we are moving to our house hopefully by end of the year. If we can get 5 year out of that house, it's good enough

Here we go.
Maybe the BMV saga is over for now. My husband's operator license came in the mail yesterday a bit sooner than expected. Apparently, someone is wrong. Either the people working at the BMV branch are wrong or CVP is wrong, but CVP did accept as proof of residency what the branch itself would not.
So, all of this took from November 2, 2007 to June 11, 2008.
Finally.

my 2 cents about it....
I didn't receive my EAD or GC yet, but my J-1 visa was still good, so I went there, took my written test and passed, waited for my LP to get here and it finally did, my road test was scheduled and guess what?My lovely smart husband loses my wallet with the LP in it, I can't take the test without it, have to go back and renew it wait AGAIN, now my visa expired, I don't have my EAD, don't have my GC and don't have my DL, or LP that didn't get here til now ( it's been about 3 months now) my paper expired and I don't know if I should go there and ask for another one, since now my J-1 expired.I'm hoping my EAD gets here soon, so I can at least try, I'm stuck at home, can't even drive with my hubby anymore, that really sucks, does anyone have a piece of advice?Should I just go there and ask for another paper or wait?
