Ok, I am confused. We filed our AOS paperwork and received notification in February of that and we have a biometrics appointment booked for next week. However today I finally got my NC driving license and the lady told me that she could only issue a temporary one because I am not a permanent resident yet, and it will only be valid until the KL visa expires. My question is how long is the AOS process going to take (roughly - I guess that may be like saying how long is a piece of string) and also is there another way to get a permanent driving license? If so what documents would you need to show? Hope that makes sense.

Thanks!

We are in Texas. The Texas DPS Driver's Lisence Divison issued my wife a temporary lisence (learner's permit) that expired on the date her I-94 expired.

My wife had a SS Card, her passport, her Philippine birth certificate, and our marriage lisence. All of which they used and referred to. They specifically told us that once she has the EAD she will be able to get her lisence reinstated for the length of the EAD. She will not have to re-test if she has the EAD within one year.

** On another note our bank ignored the I-94 (for opening a new account and adding my wife to my old accounts) and used the date on her Visa.

That's pretty much what I was told by DMV, but someone on here has said that you can take an I797C notice if the EAD doesn't come through before the I94 expires.

Thanks!

I was quiet confused myself, so i emailed my question to the DOT-DMV, (works for Wisconsin only, since it's different in every state). here's what i got:

When applying for a driver’s license under a K-1 Visa you will need to provide the following documents as proof of legal presence and minimum stay: Valid foreign passport, I-94 (arrival/departure card) containing the appropriate Homeland Security/US Customs stamp, arrival and expiration dates and indicating a K-1 status, K-1 Visa may be valid or expired, certified copy of marriage certificate (issued in the US) and the I-797 application receipt for a change of status to conditional permanent resident.

So, i got my instruction permit valid for 1 year and will take my road test soon. Wish me luck!!!.

As for my AOS is taking 7 months and counting...
