Topic: Weird Rule for TX Driving License


I have NY License, and they issued me only based on either the validity of H1B or EAD. Due to this I renewed my drivers license 3 times in one and half year (because one or other was expiring). They write valid from date x to date y, which depends on your age, but the put in RED letters "TEMP VISITOR EXP: [date]" where [date] is the validity of H1 or EAD. You can't use this drivers license beyond [date].

By the way where ever you live in the US, you have to drive, and therefore need drivers license.



They did that for a while then they stopped, didn't they? They stopped when they introduced their "enhanced" license thing.

I think you can still use the license beyond [date] but you cannot use it for ID (just to drive). But I may be wrong.

Do you have an SSN that NY State has on file for you? If yes, you should be getting a regular license next time you renew/replace.

Topic: Weird Rule for TX Driving License

Maybe you can talk them into giving her a "temporary" renewal for 6 or 12 months? There must be a way since she is here in status.

Yes, this new rule IS stupid. I have other posts about this very issue and I'm fed up complaining. People appear to be shortsighted and cannot see what kind of trouble they getting themselves into putting these rules in place.

Some immigrants on Trackitt fight me (can you imagine? immigrants fighting someone promoting their own dignity and convenience?) They say driving is a privilege.

Well, having credit cards (and most bank accounts) is a privilege too. Can you imagine the laws changing so that your credit and debit cards, in addition to your check book, "expire" with your "status" (or in some states such as Texas, with your EAD or I94?) This means that if your EAD renewal does not come on time, you cannot bank, shop, purchase necessities, pay parking, buy medication, etc. Back to the stone age, in short.

Some people tell you if you don't like it, leave. Well, one might not like or agree with everything here, but this country, to him/her, is probably better than other countries he/she's been to. Does not mean he/she should leave. Doesn't mean that he/she should not fight to make this great nation greater for him/her and everyone else.

Topic: Bush administration making a dirty exit - Biometrics will be required of Green Card holders!


Zaraza, first of all, taking fingerprints is just as simple a procedure as verifying the photograph (which is already being done by virtue of comparing your GC/passport to your face) and your signature. So, your two paragraphs of paranoid science fiction don't really make any sense here. If you were talking about certain former communist countries, I would totally agree that it's still the way things happen there.

Second, US liberties are only guaranteed to US citizens which neither you nor I are not. The green card is just a form of entry visa and employment authorization. It doesn't really make you an American.



Misinformation.

Some US liberties are only guaranteed to US citizens only, but the majority of liberties are guaranteed to everyone who are here. Get your facts straight before making a statement like this. Show me in the constitution where it says only citizens have the right to free speech and petition the government. Show me in the constitution where non-citizens have no right to due process and equal protections of the States.

Zaraza, then why don't you go back to the communist country and enjoy your liberties? Noone really invited you to come here. Maybe there you can drive with a driver's licensed purchased on the street and get a jov with a forged college diploma. After all, this is highly liberal.




Dear Voland, please stop talking like the US of A is your own country, and suggesting people leave just because someone wants to complain, and you don't like to complain.

If you are happy with everything happening with immigrants in the US, why are you on Trackitt? Out of mere curiosity?

Next time, please try to enter the US with no documents whatsoever. If asked, insist that this is your "essential liberty" and you're protecting the "freedom" that you came here for. Hopefully, this would be educational.



You'd be surprised.

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Plain and simple. You can create a police state and it will be a safe state. You want it? Many do, and this just shows how far this country (and its culture) drifted away from the spirit of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin including. They would consider the whole Department of Homeland Security an abomination...



Amen brother! Keep the light coming this way! Our fellow Trackiteers need to see the light! :-)

I am sure the Founding Fathers have their bones rattling in their graves (hopefully they do get neither CNN nor the Federal Register)

But again, you have people who come to the US not for the freedom, but to make money and nothing else. They will not care if freedoms are lost, and will fight your arguments, because they want to seem acquiescent to the government, who they think is watching their posts, and they hope they will advance faster towards citizenship this way (by going with the flow).

metr5550, once again, please explain what the "reality" is. The more you hide behind generic statements with no actual meaning, the less valuable your point of view becomes.



I think he means that in "reality" we cannot do anything about this. To each their own beliefs.

What "Dirty" about it? Nothing except cause you 10 seconds to be fingerprinted.

This new law is to protect everybody in the US. The criminals who have green card, the Identify Fakers who use other's GC, these people will be caught and prevented from entering the country. Do we want these people to be in the US? of course not. US is never short of criminals. This is a good move to secure the border of the country we are living in.

I agree over 99% of EB-GC holders are law-abiding, tax-paying model citizens. However, not all GC holders are like that. I just read that somebody held a fake GC entering the country 3 years ago managed to get a real GC through the loophole in the law system. There are also people who fake their exit/entry records trying to get citizenship. These people should be stopped from their illegal acts. And this fingerprinting procedure serves the purpose.



So, bad people get fake GCs to come here, but they do not get fake US passports? You do not make sense to me.

And let's say 99% of GC holders are law-abiding citizens (ironic we're using the term "citizen" here, no?), do you mean that 100% of US passport holders are law abiding citizens?

Exactly. Guys, if you hate it so much to be indifferent to what politicians are doing to it, leave. I believe if you love this country, you will voice your opinion.

amNoLawyer, I do not understand your arguments, and I do not think you get my point. But never mind, I'm letting go of this discussion. I wrote to the people that can make a difference, and a few posts on Trackitt here and there might make no difference.
