    According to their website, a SSN is not required.

    If you reside in Mississippi, then you're no longer a visitor. Most states have reciprocal agreements with other states and some countries in terms of accepting a driver's license. Most states allow a new resident 30 days or so to acquire an in-state driver's license and change the registration/title of their motor vehicle(s).
    Sometimes that's difficult with all the other stuff that needs to occur during an inter-state move, but usually the only way one gets caught is the result of a nosey and troublesome neighbor or they get pulled over for some traffic violation and/or accident. The consequences are usually a heft fine and, more importantly in the case of an car accident, you may be considered 'uninsured' if it appears you were avoiding the requirements to save on an insurance premium, states excise taxes or something else.
    Funny, these things usually seem trivial and innocent, but a small bump in the day could turn into a nightmare very quickly.
    Always best to ensure you are properly licensed, registered and insured prior to getting behind the wheel.

    Maybe they won't in Ohio, but try that in Arizona. They will care about immigration status. Switching places sounds fun...until it you get caught.

    Yay! Nice to see someone else in Mississippi.
    I am yet to move across, however I have been looking this kind of stuff up just so I know what i have to do when I get there. I have an Australian licence (I'm an Australian citizen). I looked up the DMV website for Mississippi and read that if you have a foreign licence you have to do the Learner's Permit test (the computer test), then take a driver's test in your own car that has you on the insurance. I thought it was ridiculous I would have to take a driving test after driving for 15 years which is literally half my life, but that's what it says.
    If you get confirmation of this I would be very interested in that information!

    Scom got a reaction from sheeshkabelle in Where do we go from here?   
    I have only been on this support site a week or two and I have had a few people quote me and make snide comments on me filing for AOS. I find it upsetting as me and my husband have been through so much to be together and I have 2 step-children to consider in this whole situation, Why would I leave my husband and stepchildren to go back to England and file, when I can stay here, file AOS and be with my family? I try not to reply to the snippy comments I have received so far LOL, but your comment did make me smile.... this particular thread has been refreshing

    You can stay as you did not enter the country with the intent to marry. I came to America from England in December 2012 to visit my fiancé for the third time and was planning to return to the UK in 90 days at the end of February 2013. We ended up getting married 2 months after I arrived on Valentines day last year and despite what some people might think this was not pre-meditated or planned. We filed the I-130 and I-485 on 6th December 2013 and I have a green card interview date of March 4th 2014.

    Because of the complexity of the situation I would most certainly hire an immigration attorney who will be able to tell you exactly what to expect and to help you should any problems and red flags arise. With cases like this your immigration attorney will also represent you at the interview. Your situation has too many red flags to go through the process a second time without some legal and professional guidance.
