wrong first name on greencard

[archy219 2]

Hello guys. Nearly one month here in California and not yet received my SSN and greencard. So this is my case: After going to SSA office, they have found out that in the system they mixed my first name with my middle name, making my first name three instead of two. Went to USCIS in San Francisco for the correction and they have told me that they cannot make the amendment if I do not have the greencard on hand yet. To get it short, will wait for my greencard to arrive and apply for the changes.

I went back to SSA office and requested for my no. to be expedited as I am getting bored and must work. I have accepted the mistaken first name to be put on the SS card in order to have the SS card number to be delivered to my address in two weeks (I will just amend my first name after I get the corrected greencard).

Now, I want to take the DMV exam for my driver's license. Shall I wait for my first name be corrected before I take the exam? I am afraid that they will put again the same mistake on my first name on the DL card. But the law says that I should apply within 10 days for a driver's license after being a resident of the state. It is very confusing for me.

Wait for the green card so that you won't have to go back and amend everything.

Yea DMV is very strict about name, make sure your PR card's name is exactly same on social security card, and then finally go to the DMV.

Take the DMV exam, its gonna save you time.

DMV would accept your application, for as long as you show your passport.

I applied to DMV even before my green card arrived, if you have an existing Philippine Driver's License,

show it to them, they would issue you a temporary driver's license valid for 30 to 60 days...

Good luck with the exam,...
