How did they get an early bio?

Next you will get a Biometrics appointment letter and you can use the receipt number from that letter to check your case online

How long do you think is my waiting for that?

I just received NOA regarding confirmation of my ROC packet and it says they'll extend my status for 1 year... So i need to keep that letter and what's next after that?

Hello condz!

Don't worry, you are not late.

ROC must be filed within the 90 days preceding the expiration date on your GC.

I hope so... I just receivd letter regarding my ROC packet and it says they'll extend my GC for a year... What is next?

My gc will expire on dec 19, 2012, and i just mail my packet of ROC last tuesday thru express mail and they received and signed it wednesday, they cashed my check thursday... Hope will not get any problem cause im late already...

I was a bit confused about this EAD, I have already my green card and my SS. Do I still need to apply for EAD for me to be able to get a job here in US?

I am done with the ff-up medical here.. I just submitted my cd xray that came from st. lukes after my repeat xray here and they did a tb skin test... Now I need to wait for the result of it.... What should I do if they found another irregularity with my medical here... do i need to fight for it that I was cleared with the medical in the Phils and I went also with the sputum/culture test for two months....

got it. How to apply for a driver license if you are over 18

If you are a visitor in California over 18 and have a valid driver license from your home state or country, you may drive in this state without getting a California driver license as long as your home state license remains valid.

If you become a California resident, you must get a California driver license within 10 days. Residency is established by voting in a California election, paying resident tuition, filing for a homeowner’s property tax exemption, or any other privilege or benefit not ordinarily extended to nonresidents.

To apply for an original driver license if you are over 18, you will need to do the following:

* Visit a DMV office (make an Appointment(s) for faster service)

* Complete application form DL 44 (An original DL 44 form must be submitted. Copies will not be accepted.)

* Give a thumb print

* Have your picture taken

* Provide your social security number. It will be verified with the Social Security Administration while you are in the office.

* Verify your birth date and legal presence If your current name no longer matches the name on your birth data/legal presence document, see “True Full Name” and “How to Change Your Name” for more information.

* Provide your true full name

* Pay the application fee

* Pass a vision exam

* Pass a traffic laws and sign test. There are 36 questions on the test. You have three chances to pass.(Sample Test)

Note: To allow you sufficient time for testing DMV will not be administering written or audio exams after 4:30 p.m.

You will then be issued a permit if you have never been licensed before. When you practice, you must have an accompanying adult who is 18 years of age or older, with a valid California license. This person must be close enough to you to take control of the vehicle if necessary. It is illegal for you to drive alone.

If you have a license from another country, you will be required to take a driving test. If you have a license from another state, the driving test can be waived.

To take your driving test, you will need to:

* Make a driving test Appointment(s) . (Driving tests are not given without an appointment.) You may also call 1-800-777-0133 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, to make a driving test appointment.

* Provide proof of financial responsibility
