UGH! Can't drive??

I'm in MN just outside Minneapolis, had to wait till I has EAD before they would give me the license and never bothered before as I'd heard about it expiring when i94 did, also had to do a road test the same day but not really difficult. Could be worth trying the 797 but they were pretty strict at Chaska. I asked the DNV about driving on my UK license and they said as I couldn't prove residence, i.e couldn't be a legal resident without EAD the 60 day rule could not be forced check out the copy of the email I posted on here. Took about 60 days for my EAD card to come through but I guess your problem is the insurance too.

I live in NY state and my NY state says Vistor License. The DMV here will not change the status of my DL until I receive my GC. I took the I-797 in to show that the application for AOS has been sent but the DMV said no on that. They will only take the GC.

First, not everyone believes in God so some people would find your assumption that they do, or that there IS a God, insulting. Also, what if said person is missing limbs for whatever reason? Sometime being snarky can be meaner than you intended.

And secondly no. In my area there are no buses, trains, taxis, subways etc. I live in small-town America. No licence means riding my bike or walking. The nearest town is a 15 minute drive doing 55mph, and even then it's not a big town. Nearest BIG town is 45 minute drive doing 65mph on the freeways.

Vanessa, I agree with your response to this post. I, like you, live in small-town America. I think the person who posted that should have had that comment removed.

Exactly. I got my drivers license in the mail yesterday it is good until 2016, but says status check 12-14-12 on the bottom. I filed for aos on oct.1st so I am hoping I have ead by then.

Amen. I am always amazed at the attitude of people who live in large cities. For those who purport to be so enlightened, they have no real idea what life is like outside their area. No all areas have easily accessible mass transit. Not all areas have taxis, and many time if they do, it is a huge fare to get to where you need to go. Simply a ride statement.
