in some states like new jersey if u hav a Ghana license they can make u write only the objective and exchange your license for an American one....in other states u have have to do both written and driving test to get a license....some visitors are allowed to use foreign license for A PERIOD OF TIME WITH PROPER ENDORSEMENT HERE....BUT FOR permanent resident like u is better u get a state license which serves as a basic ID for everything even to buy alcohol.....u cant always go around with your green card

In some states you can use the normal driving license from Ghana for about 60 or 90 days. Thereafter, you can't use the Ghanaian one but you have to get the state one if you want to continue driving.

Oga Ammeck09,

Are u saying that we dont need to go with any Diriving license at all from here either e.g (Local or International Nigeria,Ghana and so on.................... Driving License)? The only what that is ok is America Driving License...


Please explain.

Thank you and God bless us ALL AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I think you misunderstood my statement. What I am saying is that with the license from Ghana or Nigeria, you can drive in most of the states for about 60-90 days as soon as you get to the US. This will make it easy for you to get your state license.

What you have to understand is that after the initial 60-90 days, you can no more use the Ghanaian or Nigerian license to drive around. The 60-90 days is a concession giving to us to acquire the state license within that period.

In some states if you come without a license, you have to undergo a lot of training and tests in order to acquire their license. If you don't know how to drive, it's better to learn driving from home before moving to the US since it will cost you more if you want to start everything afresh from here.

Hi Pope, u are already a success IJN. Our brothers prayer will surely work. Trust in the LORD. Have some hints for you: make sure u have the new birthcert, all the educational certs you have acquired and other necessary documents before the D-day. PRAYER is the key.

Thanks very much for the tip for i know with the Lord Almighty in control and the help i have gotten from the forum, i am already a VICTOR together with each and everyone on the forum. am just sorting out some few things will update the house as soon as am through. may the Lord be with us all. Amen.
 
My Interview experience:
I had my interview in Montreal, Canada together with my kid and wife about a week ago. Interview was super fast, prolly cause my post secondary educ was in the US and Canada. No questions asked once we had handed in our documents i.e all birth, marriage, police, and educ certificates. They HOWEVER asked for the AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT but thanks to you guys here, i had it ready!
That was it.............no questions asked by interviewer. Just said everything was in order, welcome to the US. Today we received our passports back with the visas.

I want to thank all you guys for the INVALUABLE SUPPORT and ADVICE you offer, i'll single out AMMECKO for special praise. But everyone here is great. I've been a silent member of this thread, had a couple of questions answered by folks here and that really helped. Believe you, there's MANY silent followers of these threads and the info you guys share helps answer many other people's questions.
Those under AP, we continue to pray for you and here is a word of advice!
WORD OF ADVICE:
Call the department of statement, DOS, on +1-202-663-1225, press 1, then, 0 and you will be transferred to a visa specialist, have you CN ready (tell them you are a DV winner as they are USED to different case numbers that start with 3 letters). Ask for an update on the state of your case, they share info with the embassies/consulates and they can tell exactly what is on your file or WHEN YOUR INTERVIEW WILL BE. There maybe something on your file that the embassy did not tell you or has just been updated. These GUYS can even tell you when/IF your visa has been printed by the embassy! So if you are waiting for your passport return with visa after a successful interview and it is taking long, you can confirm visa issuance with DOS.

Again, i'll continue to follow these threads and offer ANY advice needed.
Goodluck and God bless.
 
please ammeck09 and all in obamaland
just a clarification
do we need to obtain the international drivers license before coming to the states or we can come with the normal driving license in ghana or better still if you know how to drive but does not have any license, it will be easier for you to obtain one? Please help

u don't need international driver's license, ur normal one will do, i can with nigerian own and i'm going for my written test 2moro to obtain my driver's permit, that does not mean i can't drive with the nigerian one,(do i know the roads?). So even if u don't av any but know how to drive, good, it won't take u time to get a permit. Good luck.
