Hello all ! Today I went to the court as scheduled and the ticket got dismissed after I showed my CA DL. They treated it as correctable and I just had to pay $25 as administrative fee. I would like to thank everyone who helped me in this group and encouraged me to get the CA DL. Thank you all...
Hi,
Thank you @Zigner for suggesting to look at other DMVs. I managed to get the license from Vacaville DMV before my scheduled date. So now I have my CA DL.
The thing I am worried about is my court date which is on Nov 19, 2019. I have no idea how the court works and what will be the verdict...

Thanks again ! I agree with you that they might have stopped me assuming something. I will be here for one year as per the contract with the university. I am renting a house in Davis and staying there right now.
I will try to get my CA license asap.
I am sorry to ask, but can you please guide...
Thanks for the reply. I was stopped randomly by Davis PD and they asked for the license and I was cited. I am just wondering DMV handbook says adults visiting CA can drive with a valid foreign DL but getting a permit and waiting for the behind the wheel test (which is not in my hand) overrides...
California.
I am a foreign national on exchange visa J1 and arrived in Davis, US two months back on June 1, 2019. I have a valid driving license from my resident country and it is in English. I recently (Aug 2) gave the knowledge test for DMV and got the temporary permit. Currently waiting time...
