Before moving to Texas in 2000 I was charter boat captain in Kona, Hawaii for 12 years. My user name is the name of the boat I ran most of those twelve years, Tropical Sun.

Question regarding legal resident

1st post...

I completed my CHL class today. My question is concerning my wife. She is a German citizen and has been a legal resident (green card) here for 20 years. Does she qualify for a CHL?

Thanks.
