AOS June 2016 Filers

[Moslund 94]

I have a question regarding driver's license and/or ID. I read somewhere that you can't get a drivers licence and/or state ID if the I-94 has expired. We filed out AOS/AD/EAD paperwork in June, and the I-94 has since expired. The only thing we have are the NOAs, showing that we filed for AOS.

My wife has a SS card showing her married name and all the other required documentation, such as joint lease, birth certificate and so on.I'm trying to avoid wasting a few hours sitting in line just be turned away for an expired I-94.

Thanks for any advice.

Go to DMV website select your state and t tells you the requirements you need... My I-94 is expired but i was able to a get license with a bank statement (not more than 2months old) EAD and I-485 noa1... I'm in Virginia.. As previous poster said it varies state by state that's why I say go to DMV website select your state and look at the requirements

In Virginia you need 3 forms of paperwork/document to qualify

Hi there,

Drivers licenses are issued according to rules on a state-by-state basis so there may be differences between rules. However, I think one aspect that is consistent is that many states wont issue drivers licenses with an expired I-94. They might with an EAD though when that arrives in the mail so I would wait for that to save a wasted trip.

The alternative option for your specific state is to call your local DMV up and ask their requirements for the license, or to query what happens with an expired I94 (you could also visit their website for clarity as that usually have the information you're looking for about specific requirements). Some states won't let you go to any DMV though and designate a particular DMV for such applying for a licenses for somebody with an EAD (NH, I think does that).

Thanks Simon and Moslund for your input.

The NC DMV website lists the requirements but is somewhat ambitious when it comes to showing "Proof of Legal Presence in the US". It lists the I-94 but does not mention an expired I-94 without EAD card and/or

So I called the DMV and explained the situation. She told me that it would be up to the officer to decide what they would accept. I'm not sure if I completely buy that, but I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I hit that snag and they told me if he I-94 is expired the NOA for the I-485 is a suitable proof of legal status... I ended up taking the NOA for proof of legal status... My EAD and passport for proof of identity and the bank statement for proof of residence Edited August 11, 2016 by Moslund

Sent out a reply to the RFIE today. It was a request for paychecks and a copy of my birth certificate.

So it took some time to get the birth certificate sent over. I used copies of the original in the application.

I remember reading somewhere that it was fine to send photocopies, but guess not.

Either that or they missed the English part of the birth certificate which is hidden in between a few other languages.

Anyway, hopefully this sorts everything out. I've included a job offer that I received as well. Not sure if that's smart but yeah.

Once I receive my EAD they will take me. Was doubting about sending it, but figured it couldn't do any harm either.

In Montana (Great falls) they did not allow me to do the test for driving license when I had one month left in my I-94. I was told I need to have 3 months left.

I am in Virginia... For Proof of ID I used my EAD and passport they required both since I'm not a citizen, for proof of legal status I used my NOA1 for my I-485 since my I-94 has been expired a few years, and for proof of residence I used a bank statement

In VA here too, they either needed a valid I-94 which I didn`t have, or the EAD. Since I don`t have either I`m waiting for the EAD to finally get my license here!

[Moslund 94]

I briefly looked under the NC requirement cause I see your from NC... for non citizens and it says 1-797 NOA can be used as proof of residency/legal status so just use your NOA for your I-485 which is your I-797
