Non immigrant friendly chl
Ladies and Gents,
This is mainly aimed at the others here on l1 visas that have successfully obtained their chl.
As of tomorrow I will hopefully have my state I'd ( subject to passing my driving test..... Again) and officially be a texas resident at last!
So following the successful purchase after continuously looking around my local dealer without being able to buy anything, I would like to get the ball rolling for my chl. Now I tried to book a course with a company I won't name, and was flatly denied that I could get the license and wouldn't take my money!
So I just wanted to know if any of the other guys here who obtained a chl on their l1 visa could recommend a company tha is aware/ didn't have a problem with the exemptions for non immigrant visa holders..... Or indeed any one on this forum who runs the course who would be happy to help spoor old Limey!
Thanks in advance

If Cabela's is too far away for you to travel to, I am sure we can recommend a class for you close to your Texas home.

Why do some instructors insist on playing batman instead of teaching their class and letting DPS decide eligibility?Expat89 wrote:As of tomorrow I will hopefully have my state I'd ( subject to passing my driving test..... Again) and officially be a texas resident at last!
