Experience: License renewal at New Jersey DMV on F1 OPT
My morning started off early today. The DMV at Somerville, NJ is open on Saturday for limited hours from 8AM to 1PM. I did do my research on documents required to renew drivers license and got some idea. NJ follows 6-point system and according to DMV website, majority of points for a foreign national is the passport with valid visa and i94, followed by i20/EAD card. Before I continue with information that I learnt checking websites, let me list the documents required based on my experience at DMV today. 1. Passport with Valid F1 Visa 2. I-94 document 3. SSN document 4. EAD card 5. Latest Form I-20 6. Address proof 7. Debit Card As one enters the DMV, wait for the receptionist to give a small form for license initial/renewal. Once the form is filled up, head to license counter and show the documents, people at the counter patiently verify and suggest documents required/missing. If satisfactory, head to another queue where they look at the documents again, click a picture,
