Posts: 995I say go for the jury duty, you might get one of those thieves who blew all our investments, or a juicy murder case or you could declare not guilty for some poor hooker.

Posts: 2470Continued thanks for all the ideas. I will actually have the letter in hand the first week of March and then will formulate a plan of attack.
Actually Exon, this is one case where I wish I was an ex felon. The other possibility is to have a local shrink write that I am crazy as batshit and completely unable to travel outside of my house, much less to the USA.

If you can get ahold of any business stationery, you write a letter signed by an officer of the company [not by you in other words] stating so-and-so is an employee of our company on an assignment in South America, and he will not be returning to the United States until such and such a date. Thus will keep you off the jury duty list of the court that sent you the initial notice until the return date in the letter.

Posts: 1196I'd like to say it ’s that absent tee ballot coming back to haunt you, but I think most states are using DMV now, rather that voter registration.
I have been selected the last two years in a row, both times the questionnaire they sent me asks about any vacations I had planned. Both times I listed my vacation schedule and they left me alone, they never ask me to prove I had vacation scheduled.
I have been called over the years about 5 times but only had to serve once, jury duty and the draft are the only lotteries I ever won.
I tend to agree with Tessan just ignore them and play dumb. (Shouldn ’t be to hard Dogg …lol)

Posts: 393Most people don't realize, that DMV is a state function, not a city one. I have a friend who drives out of the city, to a small town in Long Island, (not fare from the city) and does his DMV stuff there. Things that would take hours in Manhattan, only take him minutes there.

Posts: 393It's not such a big deal to lose your US drivers license. You should be able to drive if you visit the US with your foreign drivers license. My friend's girlfriend been driving with her Spanish drivers license in NY for months now. She told me she has never been pulled over, so she does not know what will happen.
Many tourist rent cars when the visit. Don’t know if you have to get an international license, or just your country license will do. I think to get an international license is a joke, just show you have a valid license and pay some money, and they give it to you. Your Florida license will work, or if you get another countries license it will work too.
If you ever decide to move back to the US, just take that stupid test, and get another license.
