I think you should get the card soon. They don't come at the same time. What does it say online ontheir website?

Once you get a driver's license (which means you are here legally -no restrictions-) then you don't need to carry you GC with you. In fact you probably should keep it somewhere safe and only use if when traveling outside of the country.

Are you sure ? It says on the welcome letter that one must carry it with them at all times.

I don't plan to though..., to expensive to replace

Well how did you establish " the need to carry it " ? I mean the law requires that we carry it or at least that is what I understand from the welcome letter. I am just interested in finding out if we are required by law to carry it ( I don't plan to but would like to know if I am breaking the law by doing so )

I had a driver license even when I was out of status and was able to renew it so I know that doesn't proove legal residency.

Ah I see. it is maybe different by state. In NJ, you have to prove legal status in the country everytime you need to renew. Back in the day, as a student i was not even allowed to have a normal state ID. only DL with proof of legal status. Then before got my GC , i first used my EAD for DL and they only gave me one year on it to match the EAD then with the GC it was fine (5 years ago).

:)

I don't know about the legal part, but it is a good question. If you must legally carry it, then how is that law being enforced. It is at the same time against constitutional rights for anyone to stop you in the street and ask for an ID (any ID), so how do they establish whether you are a citizen, resident, visitor or other if they are not allowed to ask for ID?? oh well, who knows. :)

CA, I gave my EAD while getting license, and I got only 1 year for that license, I have to renew again.

Also, not sure what they meant by carrying it all the time

..

you're not breaking law by not carrying (in country), because I haven't heard of cops asking for legal status documents if they stop you for speeding...

If I'm not mistaken, they are not supposed to inquire that. Homeland security are one of few who can ask that.

and if homeland security is asking you to prove that, you will have time to get it from your residence/apartment/home before they believe that you're illegal..

there are many illegal in this country, and they're actually breaking law... not you, :)

Sorry if I sound rude, but I wouldn't worry about carrying it all the time....

Dear January Filers,

I sent my AOS package February 1st 2013 to the Chicago office. So i am almost a january filer, but not.:) Just have a quick question for you all. I completed my biometrics March 12th when i was scheduled. I saw it on the uscis web site that they updated my i-485 to Testing and Interview stage on March 20th. Since then I haven't received anything in the mail, and i am anxiously waiting to get the interview date already. I also signed up for e-mail and text updates on March 30th. My question is when they sent out your interview date letter did they update it and post the date on USCIS web site as well? or I should just wait until it gets here in the mail. I am just worried I signed up for the text/ e-mail updates too late cause it's already day 12 now after they updated to testing and interview stage. I just think that it's possible that we just still in line and the Tampa office is busy.
