Complicated License Issue: How do I get New York residency--or appear that I do--while I live in Los Angeles?

Sheesh, that sounds complicated... and after having had to deal with LA DMV and LAPD for almost 15 years, I can't say I'm surprised that you're dealing with such nonsense.  It seems like no government institution in LA communicates with any OTHER government institution in LA... even if they are supposed to be working in concert with each other.\n\nFirst, if you really are "constantly getting sweated by the cops" I really have to ask... what is it that you are doing that is causing them to constantly be drawn to you?  As much of a bee in my bonnet as I have toward the LAPD, I find it hard to believe that you're just walking around with your hands in your pockets to have them on your back all the time.\n\nAs for the expired license, 10 day residency requirement, 49% of time in CA..... it sounds as though to me you need to do something along these lines:\n\nGo online or contact the Los Angeles DMV and get IN WRITING the statement about the validity of your license. You would then have to prove that you DO, in fact, spend less than 49% of your time in California.  It would seem to me that a travel itinerary of whatever tour(s) you've been involved in will help to prove your presence throughout the country... and, therefore, how much time you were or weren't in CA.  I'd ALSO try to get whatever information you can IN WRITING from the New York DMV so that you can prove that your license is valid with them.  You will probably also have to provide proof to the California judge that the address on your New York license IS in fact your dad's and not yours (otherwise, if he deems that the address is YOUR address, then the LAPD would have you... and you'd be directed to get that CA license).\n\n\nAfter all that, if you manage to prove your case, I would write a letter to the Chief of Police in L.A., yes that's what I said, with copies of any and all paperwork related to the case and demand that all officers be informed of the appropriate action to be taken in a situation like yours so that you and others won't have to deal with this again.\n\nWhew. In the meantime... stop drawing the cops attention to you!!!!!  ;)\n\nGood luck, hun.

Here is the place to start. Contact the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. You may need to spend some time on the phone to sort things out.  Have as many documents in your hand as you can when you call.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/backgrounds/cbground.htm

If you get married while you are still a resident, you can petition for him as an immediate relative, but he will not be able to apply for his residency until either you naturalize, his priority date becomes current, or he applies on his own (i.e. through employment). As a resident, the fiancee or spouse visa is not available to you.\n\nMy suggestion would be to go ahead and get married, file the immediate relative petition, and have him extend his work visa (assuming he is not maxed out on his time in that particular classification). Then just wait out the time until you naturalize. Once you become a citizen, he will automatically move to the front of the line and can apply for his green card based on marriage to a citizen, as opposed to a resident. \n\nIf he has maxed out his time on his work visa, then he will either need to find an alternative visa classification or plan on returning home.\n\nGood luck!

If you got caught once and you have been finger printed. Well that will be harder for you to get leagal status. Also the person that said you can get it faster when you married a citizen. Well they are wrong. Laws have changed and it is harder for you to get your green card. I dont understand why did you wait 16yrs to ask this question. People llike you are the ones that caused this problems at this time. You are lazy. Do you have a driver license? If yes then why did you decide to get a DL first and not the most important thing you needed. BE RESPONSIBLE! YOu're going to pay bundle to get your legal status. I know cause I worked the Calif/mexico Border with the US Army. I did the drug enforcement and learned all the laws for immigration. So dont be happy about marring a american. Remember LAWs has changed. \nThat order of deportatiion is a WARRANT.

From the website of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services:\n\n"\n-How Do I Apply to Replace My Permanent Resident Card?-\n\nIf you are a permanent resident, who needs to replace your card, or conditional resident who needs to replace your two-year card, for any of the reasons listed above, you may apply for a replacement card by filing a USCIS Form I-90.\n\nA Form I-90 can be downloaded from this site, or ordered by calling the USCIS Forms request line at 1 (800) 870-3676, or by submitting a request on-line here. After receiving Form I-90, read it carefully. Detailed information is provided in the instructions for Form I-90.\n\nApplicants may also file Form I-90 on-line using an Internet connection. Please see Introduction to E-Filing.\n\nIf you are outside the U.S. and have lost your alien registration card, contact the nearest American Consulate, USCIS Office or Port of Entry before attempting to file a Form I-90. If your Form I-90 application is approved, you will be mailed a replacement Permanent Resident Card,Form I-551, with a ten-year expiration date from the date of issuance.\n"

Contact USCIS they should be able to give you the correct advice.\n\nI've found them to be pretty useful most of the time, but make sure you're really clear about what you want, and make sure you're 100% certain on what action they tell you to take. It can be very confusing!!!\n\nGood luck!

As Lalit B says, yes, you may apply for extension.  Please go to the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov and find a form I-539.  It has the instruction and you can just fill out the info as much as you can, and file before your I-94 expires. \n\nYou'll see a question on the form how you may support yourself while you stay in the US. So make sure to get bank statements etc. to show that you don't need to work while you stay in the US.   Also, make sure to explain why you would like to stay in the US for an additional 2 months (such as "Oh, I stayed in LA for 6 months for sightseeing but forgot to stop by and see New York!!)  \n\nGood luck!

Yet another reason why I no longer live in California. Knowing CA, you will probably be without your license  unless and  until you pay the fine. They only want the money. Pony up if you want your license back in good standing. They take it for everything there.

well i'd say you need to come here first, then ask around. of course, you'll probably have to have lived here for some years before you can get the nationality. so: move! and if you already live here: ask somewhere better! go to the gaesteamt or finanzamt, or the town hall.

Generally speaking, you may not. Your residence is your domicile, the place where you vote, hold a driver's license, etc. Of course, you can work anywhere, whether in that state or in another, and though there may be some minor tax implications, they do not have any relevance to your "residency."

No, you can't . Most of these morons think that becoming a legal resident and citizen is an easy task, It's not.\nYou have to apply in your country of birth for legal residence,  doing so will take about seven to 10 years. to do that you must prove to have a clean record and have no convictions, you must show proof that you have the monetary capacity to live in your native land and pay for your food, clothing and place to live (which is a bit contradictory since most immigrants aim to come here because they lack this) after that you must have a background check and wait for this to clear. If you're lucky (and I do mean Lucky) you'll have an interview with someone at the American Embassy and depending on how that goes you may have to wait about a year to receive your "green card". All this is done while you live in your country, not here.\n\n\nGood luck

DO you have a Social Security Number.  I know that and a valid drivers license are considered proof that you are a U.S> citizen for employment.  \n\nYou could contact the SS administration in where you live
