| May 20, 2023 at 6:24 | comment | added | nvoigt | What is an EU license? As far as I know drivers licenses are issued by a country. And depending on country and their regulations, you will need an international drivers license on top of your local one, that can be issued for an administrative fee. In my (EU) country, we accept drivers licenses from different US states under different conditions, so I would not be surprised if different US states did the same with European countries' licenses. So I would be very surprised if the answer for a "unnamed EU license" is "it depends". | |

But even if it was correct, it does not justify a statement such as "if you ask the Federal government the answer is No" since there are many areas of federal law in which such a person assuredly is a US resident. Prominent among these is income taxation. | |

| May 19, 2023 at 16:43 | comment | added | user102008 | "They’re on an H1-B visa living in NY. NY requires them to exchange their license within 30 days" NY only requires people who are domiciled in NY (defined as living there "with the intention of making it a fixed and permanent abode") to get a NY driver's license. Is an H1b worker considered domiciled in NY? | |
