Getting an admission to one of the schools in the United States and then getting the visa approved basis that to get in to the United States on an F1 visa is really the easy part. It’s to be noted that the F1 visa is not a sponsored program, as in the case of the J1 visa. Thus the visitor has to bear all the related expenses himself during his stay in the United States. Thankfully the United States government is considerate about this and to help the students during the stay they are allowed to work for limited number of hours.

Thus a lot of the students choose to take up driving as a profession during this period. As this profession fetches them more money than any other job that they would be eligible for. Though every state has a different set of rules and procedures related to the issuance of the driving license but the basics are as follows.

There are 2 steps for the same.

1. Pass the written test.
2. Pass the road test.
