When to arrive in USA on my K1 Visa will I get the I-94 stamp upon arrival or (i-94 stamp) in my pport? The state to which I am moving says I need certain documentation to test for my state drivers license. Beyond SSN to reflect my new married name and mail to prove of residence I must show this I-94. Is this only obtained once to receive AOS or can I do this shortly after I arrive (after married and ssn)?

Maybe I don't get your question right, but here is what I know;

I-94 is a form that you fill out when you enter the US.

You will need it when you apply for your SSN and AOS.

To get a drivers license, I think you will need both SSN and I-94.

I got my SSN and drivers license when I came to the states on J1, over 5 years ago, and all I did after coming back here with K1 was to change my name on my card:) I remember that I presented my passport with I-94, and SSN, when I applied for a drivers license.

But you can always check with your local DMV and ask what you need;)

The I-94 is a card you'll fill out on the plane before arriving in the US. The immigration officer will tear off and keep the top half of the form with your biographical information on it, they'll stamp the bottom part with a rubber stamp and write on it your class of entry (K1) and expiration date (90 days from the day you enter) and they'll staple the stub into your passport.

Check the laws in the state where you'll be living. Some states won't issue a driver's license if an I-94 is used as proof of lawful presence unless there is at least some number of days remaining on the I-94. In California, the I-94 must have at least 60 days remaining validity. It would be practically impossible to get a Social Security card and complete the written and driving tests in the first 30 days after arriving in the US. You might have to wait until you get the EAD or green card.
