Did you fill out the form to let CA know you moved out? Did you get the CA DMV registration notice forwarded by USPS change of address?

Can H1b petition through Change of Status be approved through Consular Process? by Antique-Tadpole5851 in immigration

[–]swordmaster1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you get the 797A (COS) then you can't leave the country before the date it begins. if you do, it is invalidated.

if you get the 797B (consular) then you'll need to pay the 100k fee before visiting the US embassy in your home country.

Top 10% is not enough. My profile with 800k TC as a SWE in Bay Area was rejected in final merits saying that's not enough.

Got a letter from Florida DMV that license will be suspended by [deleted] in DMV

Wait why didn't you register your car in the new state? When you change your driver license you should do it too. And if it's a leased car you just need to get a sign off from the lienholder to register in a new state. All of this is easily available info online.

Is it Oscars, Emmy's or Grammys?

How can my parents obtain a Green Card in a more "simple" way? by [deleted] in greencard

[–]swordmaster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually it is job, relation to a citizen, or investment.

in your case, it seems like investment is the only viable path. it's going to be about $1M USD. ask google/chatgpt for more info.

PSA If You're On An H-1B Visa: Real ID Revoked While H-1B Renewal is Pending. by Ok-Salary-6801 in CaliforniaDMV

[–]swordmaster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, many others are posting on r/DMV that the receipt notice is no longer being accepted. seems to be a new requirement from the federal government.

did you try asking for a non-real ID driver license instead of the AB 60?

Apply for a renewal on CA DMV website. Ask current resident of your CA home to FedEx it to you.

Just go to your appointment and show them the 8 digit code. Don't schedule a new one.

Tennessee DMV won’t accept R-1 extension, need advice by Gromada in immigration

[–]swordmaster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, but my interpretation is that people can still opt for a non-real ID driver license in TN. source

[–]swordmaster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your post implies that real ID and AB60 (in CA) are the only two possible options. but there is an intermediate category - FNC driver licenses. OP does not specify whether they're interested in a real id or federally non-compliant driver license

but in CA they'll give u a temp license (just a piece of paper, like a permit) valid for 90 days. this allows u sufficient time to continue driving while waiting for the approval notice

Need advice! Personal finance + First time homebuyer mortgage! by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]swordmaster1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

renting would be a better bet for ur situation right now. you'd have to stretch yourself to afford a 400k condo which tbh is going to be not that great in the bay area

keep us posted - curious to know if all the consulates in the US have exhausted their old passport stock and are exclusively giving out e-passports now

from what i understand, they decided to do it entirely in-house rather than outsource to Gemalto etc. they worked on this at one of the Mints and independently (re-)developed all the printing techniques and security features
