I got my new driver's license today (valid for the next 6 month) with infopass in my passport. There was no problem at DMV office. 

However, I am still annoyed by delay with green card((((. It means once I'll get my GC I will have to go back and get another license. Seriously, it's my 5th license card🤦🏻‍♀️

Maybe I got lucky - my Florida license I got with my conditional GC in 2014 is valid until 2023. 

 

Unless it is a state issue, then your beef is with your state and not the process..... 

 

⬇️ Immigration/Visa experience ⬇️

 

ESTA 

ESTA revoked

H1B for 2 years

B2 - Denied

B2 - Successful

AoS

Green Card

Green Card ROC

Naturalization

 

(AoS & GC via same sex marriage if it helps) 

 

So plenty experience to draw on to help you all out on......

I have no idea what is behind it. Maybe you are right, it depends on a state 😩

Yeah it depends on the State and to be honest it's just dumb to issue 2 year driver licenses to GC holders. The DMV is not an immigration law enforcement arm so it doesn't make sense why they will limit a customer's ability to drive per their immigration status.

~AOS : 09/11/2014 - 2 YR Green card received!.

~ROC 07/13/2017 - 10 YR Green card received!.

~N-400 : 10/28/2020 - N400 Interview & Approval/Oath Ceremony/US Citizen!

 

More Importantly, I am a proud Anti-Fascist!

It is with the State. Oregon issues them for 8 years for GC holders (2 yr or 10 yr GC) and US citizens. For folks on a visa, the duration is by the i-94 date. This is a logical thing to do.

True. It's not like $10 per license is a lot, it just time consuming

Aye your logic sounds logical to me too... 👍🏻

Florida must be a 8 year state like Oregon.

When we moved to Illinois last summer, the DMV charged my wife the full $30 license fee for a license valid not much more than a year (we're going through ROC, so they used the end of the 1-year extension as the cut-off for the license). Before that, when we lived in NC, she had a series of 1-year licenses (F1 visa) and then one 2-year license (on the initial green card), and the fee was something like $4 or $5 per year of validity; she didn't have to pay the full-length license fee for every single short license. Doubtful that the 10-year card will have arrived by October, so she'll probably have to get an I-551 stamp, renew the license for another single year, pay the full $30 again... quite a racket.

Wow $30 it's a lot(((. I went through the same process as your wife did, but the cost was $15 per card. I wonder why it was $10 this time. 

But still $30((((((. Maybe because you guys moved to a new state? Maybe if you would wanna get Illinois license they will also charge you around $30

$30 is the license fee in Illinois. Mine cost $30 and is valid for the full four years. Hers cost $30 and is valid for just over one year. I preferred North Carolina's system, where the fee is on a per-year basis! (Don't know how other states do it.)

JIm about the acquaintance that you mentioned, probably and I'm guessing now, is depending of the nationality and the status of the petitioner spouse, here in Miami is very common, that if somebody is married with a Cuban resident category CU (whaterver the number after the CU) they get automatically the 10 years GC, I have more than 8 friends in that case that in the interview the get the 10 years instead the 2 years with ROC, and I think there is other nationalities also with the same procedure, but not sure at all, but for Cubans 110 % sure

 

I believe if you have been married for more than 2 years before sending your first AOS application, you are approved for a 10 year GC. By staying married for that time, you are fulfilling the conditions. It happened to a friend of mine, he sent is AOS the third year he was married, and got a 10 year GC.

I am sorry for what they are doing at the DMV!  The driver license validity period can vary, apparently. When I got my 2 year GC, I got a license that was valid for 8 years. I hope once approved, you'll get one that is valid for a long time buddy.
