It has become quite a hassle to obtain a California state driver's license or state identification card ("ID") when you are a non-immigrant such as in F, M, or J status (students, students in vocational schools, cultural exchange students). Recently Immigration Customs and Enforcement issued a fact sheet on applying for a driver's license or ID card for non immigrants in F, M or J status. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Applying%20for%20a%20Driver%27s%20License.pdf). The fact sheet is helpful as it provides basic information on how to apply for a driver's license or ID card. It is not state specific but it does list all of the websites for all of the Department of Motor Vehicle offices in the United States.
The steps in applying for a driver's license or ID card in California are listed on the California Department of Motor Vehicles website (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/checklists/id.htm). You must do the following in this order:
Obtain a Social Security number
Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application
Present an acceptable birth date/legal presence document
Pay the application fee
In order to obtain a Social Security number, you must go to a local Social Security office. You may find out more about the process on the Social Security Administration's website (http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/). For those in F, M, and J status, you will find additional guidance by reviewing Social Security's electronic fact sheet, "Social Security numbers for non-citizens. (http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10096.html#3)"
The fact sheet issued by ICE is useful because it provides an email address to use in case the DMV does not issue the driver's license or identification card. It has been difficult in the past to get the immigration authorities to communicate with the DMV about a person's immigration status. In the fact sheet, ICE promises a one-to-two day turn around once they receive a request for information as to why a student's ID or driver's license was not issued. This is great news as students have suffered a great deal of frustration in the past waiting for the agencies to communicate with one another.

Even I changed my address last month. No RFE.
Now Again I want to chnage. I want to know If I just submit AR11 online, without updating the pending applications ( not expecing any communication for CIS next couple of months). Will they look in to AR11 and issue RFE(If at all).OR it is just a record no one care unless you chnage the pending applications.
Thanks

Hi,
Has an non muslim Indian passport holder been denied H1 visa in Canada due to security check ?
I have US degree and I also have done stamping in Canada once before - what are the chances of getting stuck ?
Thanks

If IV is critical about the spelling... "immivoice" handle is still available...
I think if IV has regular updates, twitter makes so much sense for such a cause..
damn someone named islevista or something like that took IV and is actively using the handle :(

I can not take infopass appointment as I don't have receipt number. Alos, I called up USCIS and they informed me that it is taking longer time for entry and so far they don't see my EAD and AP entries in their system. Although they have received I-485 which was sent along EAD/AP. I just wondering if anyone come across similar sitaution, also does it make sense to file EAD/AP again without any further waiting ?
Once you call USCIS on the 1-800-375-5283, try the following option sequence:
1-2-2-6 (key your 485's receipt number) -1-1 (listen to the case status) -3-4.
The last option (#4) enables you to get to an IO since you "filed a few applications together and think that some of them got seperated or lost".
If you already tried the above and it was not fruitful, please disregard this post.

As I said in the comments on the cropped version in your gallery, I think it's quite good. Six megapixels doesn't really seem like a lot when I see it on the screen, but the prints from these images (even cropped) are amazing!

I just received a NOID for my 485(No LUD on the online status, received direct mail) saying that my underlying 140 is withdrawn and AC21 not filed. I have filed for AC21 last june (yes June 2009) along with my RFE (asking for G325a, Medical, Birth Certificate and 10th marksheet - this was during the Pre-adjudication time). My 140 was withdrawn by my employer as I had changed jobs under AC21 provisions(left employer in Jan 2009, filed AC21 in June 2009 and 140 withdrawn Dec 2009). Guess I will send the entire paper work again. I am EB3 India with Feb 2004 PD and I am no where near being current so I am trying to figure out if it is just me or is this the new scam that USCIS found to harass us!!!
PS: My friend who is from the same employer, similar case (Nov 2003, EB3 with AC21 filed) also got a NOID. He responded to it yesterday. Guys, post here if you also received the same.

Thought folks might find the following interesting.
I recently returned from a visit to Canada where I stayed with my brother-in-law, who owns a small but very successful web development shop. He told me that due to the booming Canadian economy, he can no longer find experienced programmers at reasonable bill rates. So he's been doing some outsourcing to get cheap foreign labor ... hiring American programmers !

1) I got my EAD 3 months back. Also received my AP in Oct. Typically how long is the journey from EAD to actual GC?
There is no correlation between the two. GC is based on your priority date and nationality
2) When does the 180 day period for AC21 begin? The day I sent my 140/485 packet or the receipt date (behind the cashed check) of my 140/485 application?
The sending date has no significance. It should be the receipt date (sometimes notice date is 'better')
3) Now that I have my EAD, do I need to do anything at this point? I already have a SSN. Does the SSN change after getting EAD? Do I need to apply for I-9 or something?
If you are working on H1, nothing
4) Have people been successful with AC21? What if I want to move on to another role (different in responsibilities from my current role)? Can I still use AC21?

You can try but they recommend going to your own country for stamping if there is a change in status (H1 to F1 or vice versa). If you to Mexico, please have a plan B.
