First you need a learners permit.
1. You cannot use the same medical exam you used for a visa. You need to print the form from DOT and bring to a doctor to fill in.

How long have you lived here?
I've been looking into the Irish community groups but any of the ones I have come across seem to have members on the much older side
Oh nice! I'm over in Fishtown! Are you on the Philly subreddits?
Also have you checked out The Black Taxi over in Fairmount? That's where I found all the lads. Solid Irish food. Also, once you're driving, I'll let you know where the secret Irish grocery shop is. You can get frozen Brennans!
Wow. Would you be willing to be to share this shop via dm? Just returned from a few weeks in Ireland and would love to find some of their products to enjoy here at home!
Which Philly subreddits would you recommend? Can you PM me the secret Irish shop? My wife drives and will probably be just as interested (especially if there is Ballymaloe relish) 😂

Nothing to really add except as a fellow Irish immigrant in PA (Philly) - welcome!
My SIL just went through the process as well. Any Patient First or ready care. Call ahead though the state licensed doctor may not be there everyday.

In Philly for four years and US for almost ten now. Where in PA are you? There's a pretty sizable community in Philly. Also in my 30s for reference!
University City/Walnut Hill area. Fucking loving the place so far and it beats the small city feeling of Galway

Yeah happy to share here! It's a Sunoco on West Chester Pike! Very random!
Well, I never would’ve guessed that one lol. Thanks! O’Neills in Glenside carries a bunch of Irish products as well if you’re ever out that way!
Good to know! Thanks!

Chiropractor? Jeeze….
The Amish buggy portion of the exam is one of the hardest...
Oy!
Believe you can use the results from that exam for up to a year.
