Hey there! When you receive the text messages they will come with a tracking number that you can use on the My USCIS website to check for any updates. 

Unfortunately, they don't update it very often so it is a long wait!

Here in Ohio I only needed my passport, I94, social security number, AOS NOA and proof of residential. Also if you have your name changed then take your marriage certificate with you. Even though every state is different some similar, you need to check Florida DMV website.. just in case I missed something.

Thank you very much... was the process long or simple? And how much did it cost?

Hey Hun , 

I had apply for my driver permit at the DMV when I had return to the US with my K1 visa . Things Needed:-

- Fee $10 ( According To Your State DMV) 

- I-94 Form 

- Birth Certificate 

- Passport 

( Photo and exam is taken there and permit is printed out after a successful passing score) 

Since I’m a K1 holder with a exipry date the driver Permit only last for 90 days or when you I-94 expires until EAD / Green Card is available, which you gotta take back to them . 

 

Process depends on how many people is there in line.

I received the I-797c's today. There was a typo on my last name (made by them) on the notices for I-131 and I-765. Contacted the customer service line who took all info and advised me I would receive a letter about the issue in 30 days. Hopefully this will not delay anything.

You're welcome. In my case it was simple because I went in for a renewal, due to that I had a US license before .. it was just filling a form and taking my picture. It cost me $25.75 for a renewal.

In your case being in Florida.. a new driver license costs $48 and the process will take a bit longer because you will take a 50 questions (multiple choice) writing exam after you provide them your documents..  After you pass the writing exam, they might schedule you an appointment for the driving test, or you might have to make one. Be aware that failing the writing exam will cost $10 to re-take and failing the driving test is $20 fee to re-take it (as it states here: https://www.flhsmv.gov/fees/).
Best advice is to study well.

Bonus: The writing exam questions will be based on information found in here: http://www.flhsmv.gov/handbooks/EnglishDriverHandbook.pdf
