How to get a California Driver's License for K1 pending AOS?

[sarah and hicham 3]

My wife got her California just a couple of weeks after she got here, right after we got the Social Security Card, she had been studying the manual then went for the test. They were a little bit puzzle about it, then the guy went to speak to the managers/supervisor in the back then they issued the permit. Try a different DMV if same result ask to speak to the person in charge. Good luck

The problem we had with this is that my husband's SS card took over a month to get and by that time his I-94 was going to expire in less than 60 days so they woudln't issue it. I'm still going to try with our marriage certificate and NOA1 from AOS.

Ok we went and it was a bust. We didn't have cash so we wanted to use debit card but their machine wasn't working of course. We waited a long time too. Next time we go back I'll let you guys know how it goes. We're too mad to go back today.

Hiya

We were told that my husband could not get a Cal ID because there wasn't 60 days left on his visa. We have to wait until he gets his approval letter/greencard.

ps: good luck sarah and hicham. I hate the DMV almost as much as I hate the dentist and the gynecologist. Did you schedule an appointment for the DMV? We were able to schedule on online for our local office. When we went we were in and out in good time.

Only posting here to add LOTs of insult-to-injury.

Can't stand CA's "10-day" residency rule (I barely even like the 30-day rule found in other states) for licence/tags change.

We had the same problem with CA DMV for my son - no license would be issued without 60 days validity left on the I-94, although they did tell us in one office we went to that the NOA for AOS or an unexpired EAD would be sufficient to get license.
