not the same
I have been feeling depressed about my no drivers license situation and so I decided to do more walking in the neighborhood to feel less home bound.
I want my license back so bad though. We mailed off the paperwork finally to immigration so hopefully they will accept it. And hopefully they will send me my certificate of citizenship. (A Long Story if you didn’t know about my situation already. I was denied a drivers license due to insufficant paperwork because I was born in Canada.) The next step would be to renew my license. Once I have my certificate I won’t have anymore trouble. I most likely will have to take the course all over again. HA!
But walking everywhere is just not driving. I so miss driving and having that freedom.
I get called by the school for my son at least 2x’s a month to pick him up for medical reasons. It is exhausting trying to arrange a ride for him. I have my teeth set on edge when the phone rings from his school. I never know what is going down. It will be so nice once I get my license and can drive over to pick him up.
No bus goes straight in that direction so it isn’t easy to just hop a bus-line to that area. I would have to travel into the city and then switch to get a bus that goes by the schools area then walk another 1 mile to pick him up. With a child who is sick it’s nearly an impossible situation.
Hubby works 45 minutes away and really cannot drop everything to come get him. He will if he has to but I call neighbors, his grandpa, or my sister hoping someone can do my job.
Once I have my freedom back I can be less stressed. Also making Doctor appointments around my husbands busy schedule will be a snap if I could drive them or me plus picking up groceries, going to school for myself, Oh! the list is limitless!SO even though walking is nice it is not the same as having your own vehicle with license to get around in. *Sigh… Some day soon I hope.

After a long period of time, I had taken for granted that you have taken care of this problem.
Maybe you can go via your marriage certificate to prove you are now a citizen? However if you don’t renounce your Canadian citizenship it might be hard to get an American citizenship.
For last resort maybe an immigration lawyer might be able to solve your problem or maybe get a provisional driver’s licence that can be used just for emergency?
I hope they accept it.
