You have 30 days to get your California drivers license & I echo the other guy. Also, go online and schedule an appointment. That will expedite the process.
Make sure you have 2 documents that prove your residence. Light bill and rent or a loan bill. Also, bring your Passport and old license. That is the easiest way to get it done. Also, be patient as they are very busy a lot of times.
