    Getting a Florida License

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    Hello Everyone!

    I am wondering when can i get a Florida license since the last time i went to DMV, they said if i want to get a license..it will only be valid util my I94 expires. As far as i can remember they said if i want, i can wait for NOA1 from USCIS saying that my case for AOS is pending, or maybe im wrong. I already have a drivier's license from my country just so you know. Har from you soon!:)

    Take your foreign drivers license, entry documents (I-94 and passport with visa), and the notice of action you will receive by mail from the EAD and AOS filings. That was all my wife had to show them for a Florida identification. They may require you to take a test for the Florida Drivers license.

    Good luck.

    AOS

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    My I-94 expired on Jan 13 and my K-1 visa is expiring today... We already got married and are on the AOS process...

    Thing is.. seems that we can't do much in this country without one or another...what am I ? I llegal because I don't have a valid visa/I-94 anymore nor a Green Card ???

    I have heard one can extend the validity of a I-94... is it possible ? and would it do any good ?

    You are legally in the US, because you applied for AOS. You can use your NOA1 to prove it, if necessary.

    The expiration date on your visa becomes irrelevant once you enter the US.

    My wife's I-94 expires Feb.18. At what point, if ever, does the passport get a stamp or any other express statement is given that she is not in the US illegally. We applied Jamuary 21 for AOS and EAD. Is there a USCIS rule we can refer to in order to ease the process of getting things done like drivers licenses, public school ESOL programs, leases, etc.

    Thanks

    that Mysterious 'Between NOA2 and NVC' Limbo

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Once Again Visa-Journey has proved its worth!

    My I-129F was approved September 14. And I relaxed for awhile--made it! Right?

    Time has passed and I decided I wanted to contact the Kiev embassy with a question so finally decided to contact NVC to get my 'KEV' number---"should be there by now", I reasoned.

    Called up and entered my 'WAC' number----------"We have no record of your case--as far as we are concerned you don't exist...." (my paraphrase of the message I heard)---tried several times---same thing.

    Panicing slightly I rushed to the computer to VisaJourney haven----- and low and behold there were others of YOU experiencing the same thing----phewwww!--relief--I'm not alone!

    WELL! The very NEXT day (after hearing that they know nothing about me) I received in the mail--a letter from NVC with my new 'KEV' number enclosed!

    (for those of you who don't know--the number beginning with 'KEV' is issued by the NVC and is your actual case number)

    SO---- if you've contacted NVC and they've never heard of you--don't fret too much--- your envelope is probably on the way also. Your stuff is most likely moving thru the channels and they just haven't informed the Robotic Voice of Doom yet--ha!

    My KEV number arrived two days short of one month from my NOA2 approval date.

    Johnta,

    We received our KEV number by e-mail Oct.12. It's been 3 days shy of a month now since the NOA2 so I e-mailed the Kiev consulate this morning (ivkiev@state.gov) to see if they had the case yet. The e-mail reply said the case was received and Packet 3 would be mailed today. They went on to say that I could download the Packet 3 documents from the Embassy web site http://kiev.usembassy.gov (look under the visa services and fiance visa links). In a follow-up phone call I was told that I could go ahead now if I wanted and return the KEV-1 by e-mail. I did that and returned the scanned KEV-1 today. Maybe that will cut some time from the process if you are looking to do that. Ihe consular officer said they are now scheduling appointments for the second half of November. Hope this helps.

    Paul
