Re: Urgent Help Needed!
I seen this before, regarding the handing in, of our UK licence when applying for a U.S one. Now, I wonder that if you are in possession of an International D.L issued in the UK by the AA/RAC/Green Flag etc for the year, at the cost of about a £5, Would they accept that, to be handed in, thus not reliquishing your actual DVLA licence.Anyone tried this ?.Never saw a result before on here.

Re: Urgent Help Needed!
On the question of initial insurance, i have seen some immigration insurance companies that can provide up to 6 months coverage. I know my coverage doesn't kick in until 30 days after i start work so we will need to get 3 months coverage for us for when we go over in case of any emergencies, anyone had any dealings with these specialist immigration insurance companies. This is the one I am referring to http://www.immigrationhealth.com

Re: Urgent Help Needed!
on a note about the Hep B, i have already had it and i understand the kids have to have it, is it worth getting them it done over in the Uk before going over. I presume we will have to pay in the Uk to get it done and I understand you can get them done for free once in the US by going to the county clinics? Should hubby be getting his done too?

Re: Urgent Help Needed!
Sorry, Bob, you are wrong. They have a right to ask for it and New York State does. You are not allowed to hold two driver's licenses at one time. The same in Ontario, Canada. You have to relinquish your old license. The only way around either state or province is to say you don't have a license and take the testing all over again.
Canada is different in that you can transfer a foreign license without taking a test.

That's the thing, they can ask, but they can't take your foreign license, it isn't yours to give up....and you can't transfer a foreign license anyway, so would have to take the test and all that anyway.

if you didn't have proof of a return ticket etc, they would void your insurance, and screw it to you hard.

As for free clinics in the USA, depends on where you live, some might, some might not, some might ask you to pay all the same....get it done in the UK.
