I went to the DMV twice trying to get an ID card. The first time i forgot to bring proof of resident and my i-94. Well the second time, i brought those, along with my ss#.

Well the DMV said that since my i-94 will expired in less than 60 days, they can't issue me an ID card. 

 

Background. K1 fiance visa. Yes married in the US last month.

 

I just want an ID card, why is it difficult? anybody know what to do?

 

Why is it easy for people entering the country illegally to get a driver license and work permit. Here i am, doing the right, waiting in line, paying the fee, going through interview and playing the wait game. this is(removed). All i want for now is a ID card, so i don't have to carry my passport around.

You waited too long. Once you file for AOS & get your EAD, you'll be able to get a state ID.

As for why it is easy for people entering illegally. It's not. I'm in TX and you can't get an ID or DL without proof that you are here legally.

OP filing in California, so I believe OP is referring to California AB-60 Driver License for illegal immigrants.

Calm down.

 

Work permits are only issued by USCIS. Do you know anyone who entered the country illegally,  applied for a work permit from USCIS, and got it?

 

Facts matter. Leave hearsay to fools.

OP said ID & work permit. Is there any state that issues work permits to people who enter illegally?

States don't issue work permits at all. That's handled at the federal.

Some EWI individuals could get DACA and then get an EAD via that. Some people have TPS and can get an EAD via that.

But this is neither here nor there...worrying about what others do or don't do doesn't help his own case.

 

State IDs are issued by the state and they each have their own requirements. With some states, a K-1 beneficiary won't be able to get a state ID or driver's license until they have a green card. Others need an EAD. Others can do so on the K-1 directly, and/or just via a pending I-485.

Maybe she could get a driver's license via AB-60 instead? I'm unsure of the exact requirements but nothing I saw off-hand disqualified her. CA's laws are not something I am qualified to speak about.

It's not the same as a state ID, but overall works the same way. Note that it's not Real ID compliant, so there may be issues with airline travel in the future.
