K1 Visa. Married and applied for Residency (i-485). The I-94 expired on Feb 14th and now we can't get a license, how do I prove her presence is legal?

I've been on the phone for hours and gotten nowhere. DMV said "well they just need to change her status" lol....yeah. So easy to do.

Would an infopass appointment do me any good?

Then you might have to wait until either it or the EAD is no longer in process, but in your hand.

Ohio is the same way - unless you have an "active" "in status" immigration document, they will not issue a license (or ID for that matter).

In fact - they gave an expiration on Umit's ID to the end of the I-94. (we needed ID for banking reasons).

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

There's so many people who are here illegally, driving illegally, working illegally, and the people that do things "the right way" have to jump through innumerable hoops. It's ridiculous.

You can drive illegally and work illegally as well. And people who are here illegally have to jump to many more hoops. You really have no idea, and how could you?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

NC is the same way....all you need is NOA from AOS to apply for a license...My wife did it.

Good luck. I hope it works in Michigan. In Georgia they require either the EAD or the Green Card - no exceptions.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
