I'm in NY. I was told that my wife can't get a state non-drivers ID card until she gets her SS card next week.

You will need 6 points worth of documentation:

Passport with I-94 = 3 points

SS card = 2

Marriage certificate = 2

You may also find that the ID will have an expiration date timed to coincide with the expiry of the I-94....

Here is the DMV website: http://www.nysdmv.com/idlicense.htm

If you apply for a driver license, a learner permit or a new non-driver photo ID card, and:

If you do not have a NYS driver license or or a NYS learner permit that is now valid or that was valid in the last two years, you must show proof of identity that equals a value of six points, your proof of date of birth and your Social Security Card.

Point values: http://www.nysdmv.com/idlicense.htm#idpoints

You'll need:

-6 points of identity

-proof of date of birth (passport)

-SS card

With a K1 visa you can apply for a SSN betweenr 14 and 76days of entering the US. The 14 days allows time for your information to be entered into the database.

What if you're married? Does it expire with your I-94?

Marriage has no effect on the I-94

Depends on the state you live in what they do as far as an expiry date.

True, but with the provisions of TRUE ID it is suppose to be timed with your demonstratable legal presence.
