It really just depends on the person you get at the DMV. My license is valid for 4 years.

Re: Granting Permanent Residency Through Marriage

Wow, I'm actually in the exact same boat as you! I just completed my packet (concurrent I-130 and I-485) and will ship it out tomorrow. I didn't file for an I-765, because my DACA doesn't expire...

Re: Your challenges of getting a Job after EAD

So I'm trying to apply to this job at a pretty big accounting firm, and the employment authorization question is weird. There are only 4 options, none of which applies to us, I think.

Re: Accounting Majors Assemble

I didn't think about the VITA program. I'll look into that.

If I'm not mistaken, it's possible for you to do that. The main thing that you have to prove to the USCIS is that it's a bona fide marriage. During the interview process, you need to show...
