Yes, 100% correct. You must have a valid license issued from your home country and have it with you. All the International license does is translate information from one language to another -- by itself it is not permission to drive.

Isn't that what you are supposed to do?

Prior to 9/11 our drivers license was valid for 7 years and after 9/11 we had to get every year a new card due to changes that were made due to these muslim extremist that killed over 3000 people and made millions of peoples life change and restricted due to their actions.

You are not the only one. Please send a complaint to the responsible party.

They renew their US drivers license every time they enter.

You are never sure of anything. ESTA/VWP is not a visa. Even the white knuckle colony aka Florida wants to see an I94 now. I am not sure about WA. It would be interesting to know what you do not know.

I was just stating facts and not complaining. But i was accusing the parties that caused the entire world to change for their stupid believes.

3000 people died and probably more that indirectly died. For them I feel sorry and their family.

We did what we needed to do to stay here and we are glad we don't have to deal with that anymore.

Problem solved as they got their interview date which is prior to renewal of drivers license so no longer an issue. Either they get approved for green card or not.

Update...they were approved for a green card so all issues resolved!
