Driving License on K1

[zorus40k 21]

Got my learner's permit at the start of May here in Orlando even though i-94 expired on 25th of February.

They have issued 2-month learner's permit at dmv. And I have driving test appointment at the end of June for an actual driver's license.

Different states have different rules but you shouldn't have problems, if they will fail to understand your legal status you can call supervisor I guess.

Yeah, it'll depend on the state rules. We went and did it because Texas accepts the I-797 as acceptable to get a DL but when the lady put it in she said that he wasn't found in the system and now we have to wait for them to basically do more research to make sure my husband applied for AOS. We haven't gotten the letter we were suppose to get, but at the same time I'm not sure if the lady put the information in the system correctly, as the "document" type she put in was a green card, which he obviously doesn't have. I asked her if the document type should be the I-797 and she said no, that it's the I-551 because that's what is pending, but yeah, she wasn't really open to conversation.

I originally went down there with him to get his DL cause a lot of people here have had an easy time getting it while waiting for AOS to go through. LOL. So we're just waiting for the letter, we may just wait til he gets his EAD since had his biometrics appointment three days after he applied for a DL.

she was so confused looking in the computer screen herself

but i'd want to go to the same lady once I have the receipts

Did you have your driving test yet? Mine is on Monday in CA...

So excited!!! and a bit nervous. Driving over 15 years in Mexico City does not help a haha

I gave my initial written test of 50 questions. all the best for monday testting

i think it should be easy

I was on a K1 - I was within i94 90 days when i applied and took written test - and i took and passed the skills test after i94 had expired - no problem getting a one year drivers authorisation card (not the full licence but that matters not) - this is in NV by the way - once EAD arrives i can upgrade it to a full licence if i choose

wow thats nice

Indeed! I could legally drive here anyway for up to a year with my UK licence, but it's nice to take another step towards being fully American.

Oh... and we printed our marriage certificate from a vending machine

She was confused. We recieved the letter from the DMV today asking us to bring the document that was put in the system which was the Green Card 551, which obviously we don't have lol. If she had put in the I-797 NOA receipt for the AOS we would be able to provide that proof and probably wouldn't have had an issue getting the Drivers Liscense, but she figured that since we're applying for AOS then we have a "pending green card" therefore she should put green card as the document type. I should have argued with her more as I knew that wasn't the right thing to put in the system. We brought all the NOA's (for AOS, EAD, and AP) and the Biometrics notice. The one we gave her as the proof document was the NOA for the I-485.

We're just going to go back when he gets his EAD.
