Hi,

We went to the DMV today morning to apply for my wife's driver's license.

We took my wife's :

passport with I-94 card

social security card

birth certificate

We also took

marriage certificate

K1 fiancee approval letter

The morons at the DMV said she can't apply for a license because the I-94 expiry date is

Nov 22, 06 which is less than 60 days away. I tried to explain what a fiancee visa is and that

the expiry date has no meaning since we are married now and have applied for her green card.

The DMV moron said she needs to have a green card before she can apply for a driver's license.

Any similar experiences and how to work around this ?

Thanks

They were not morons. The DMV is complying with federal requirements.

They were simply following the rules.... you will have to wait until she has her EAD or Greencard to get her a drivers licence...

Thanks for the replies guys. I was just venting off a bit. CA DMV was giving driver's licenses to

illegal immigrants a while ago. I guess that's in line with federal regulations :))

Or perhaps a good reason to institute a Federal requirement.
