Post green card mini update: Went to DMV and SSA office. SSA office DID NOT take SSN card away, but instead they asked to promise to shred it once the new SSN arrives without "authorization required" wording. 

DMV said they will send out REAL ID card in couple of weeks as well, and in the mean time extended interim driving licence to mid November, which gives 8 weeks or so for them to issue actual card. 

Will update the thread once we get either of those things. Pretty happy that they did not take away SSN.

Oh yes you are right! That makes total sense. Ok at least the 7months wait counts then. Do you know whom to contact now that the case has moved to the local office? (in case that the case runs out of normal processing times?) Do you contact the local office or USCIS?

We will probably move soon, so then our case will really take long... I heard it goes back to the end of the queue.. 

Call uscis and ask for Tier2 representative. Tier1 who usually pick up the phone but they are useless. They see the same thing that you see online. Ask for Tier2 if you need any help. Tier2 representatives work from 8 am to 2.30 pm East Coast time. Call right at 8 am before the line gets too busy.

Did they charge new fees during your recent DMV visit?

No. We paid "REAL ID" fee before, and were able to do behind the wheel test, but the card never arrived, she just had the little piece of paper, interim "licence" that would've expired in October. Now they reprinted interim once so it is good until November. No new pictures, no new fee. I expect that REAL ID will expire in 2 years when her GC expires which will be a source of another annoyance down the road cause they sure as heck do not approve I-751s in 3 months...

I don't know if it depends on the state, but when I went to the Florida DMV to renew my license with my greencard, they gave me an 8 year license

I think there is a difference between just "state id" and "Real ID" Real id means it satisfies certain federal requirements, and I think starting since 2021 those will be required to board an airplane. We have State ID that is good for 5 years or so, it does not have Real ID "star" in the corner though, and has text "Federal Limitations Apply"

Oh gosh. We're moving to PA next year, hoping they won't give me a 9 month driver's license 😬

Ooh! that is very interesting. I just looked over my license and it doesn't have that text but it does have a little star in the right corner with a gold circle background. I do think I had heard about the boarding airplane regulations getting stricter. I hope the extension letter they'll give us immediately-ish after applying for ROC will be enough to get that ID

Then I think you are good to go with Real ID. We will see what CA will have for us hopefully soon.
