Cleared of All Charges
I’ve been waiting ages for my official FBI background check which I need in order to lodge my new visa/work permit application which is expiring this Sunday! As I expected, they sent back the fingerprinting form that I had sent in with two stamps on it which indicated that I had no record of any criminal activity. Ohh and they attached a letter at the front to explain that they had stamped the back of the form. Now I can finally send in my application and hopefully not get deported! What a hassle.
Road Worthy
Last week, I got my official New Zealand driver’s license. A full Class 1 license which means I am authorized to operate a car. And it was so easy! Unbelievably easy. Went to the AA shop on a Saturday morning after having reviewed the list of possible test questions that were conveniently posted online and asked to take the test. AA is a car rental/insurance company who are authorized to administer the test. There wasn’t even a line!! After I filled out and submitted the application, I had an eye examination and then then took my picture. The lady assured me that I would pass and she was right. There were about 35 questions and you were allowed two incorrect answers. After about twenty minutes, my test was done and they issued me a temporary license which looked like a receipt. Not even two weeks later, my real license came in the post. Now I longer need to carry my passport everywhere, yay!
