Hi VJers,

So, I got my driving license before getting married in US, they issued the license as valid as my I-94. And now we are married, applied for AOS , they just sent us an appointment letter. NOW the question is, is there any way I can extend my driving license, cause when we went to MVA they said my case is not updated yet, and I have to wait.

Any idea what do they wait for and what do they want to receive as a proof of residence? I have a situation that should drive by myself.

Thank you for your reply. So, it means that people on K1 visa can drive only for 3 months? That doesn't make sense. :innocent:

I didn't drive for almost 7 months, because I did not apply for a DL while my I-94 was still valid (I didn't want to spend time and money on something that wouldn't last very long). Then I filed AOS and only got a license when I received my EAD. It really varies by state, but I would say that if you want to be on the safe side, wait until you get your EAD and then go to the DMV.
