Louisiana Id cad

[metalmikecfh 71]

Hi everyone just got back from the dmv in chalmette for the 3rd time trying to get an ID, not even a license because I don't want to carry my passport around, British citizen who came on K1 visa, married and applied for adjudication of status.  First two visits, was told I didn't have the proper documents.  Just received the 797C, we looked online again for requirements and had all on the list so headed back for a third time with passport, 797C, social security card, birth certificate, marriage license and I-94 and proof of address. The woman took my passport to check me in the system and told us there is a "stop" on me and there is nothing they can do about it and to contact immigration.   Read the comments on here, very helpful, should we wait for the EAD or try a different DMV office? Anyone in the NOLA area have any advice or suggestions? thank you Mike and Lia

Certainly in my State you need EAD.

In Texas it was marked that a I-797 could suffice, but we had trouble at the DMV. According to the lady even though it counted as proof of residency, it wasn’t actually in the system as a form she could select as residency proof. The only thing related to the AOS process in the system was EAD or GC. 

 

Could be that having the NOA as proof of residency is outdated info that has never been corrected, but we did deal with this here in a Texas.

The problem with a receipt of filing is that there is no guarantee you will actually get residency out of it. And it has no date on it saying how long you can remain in the US. They need a date and all you have right now is an entry allowing 90 days.  When you get EAD, the card will show you are granted one year. That will allow them to give you a one year license or state id. Typically they issue licenses/IDs to expire when your legal presence expires. Your 90 days is over this week, so no ID until you get something else on paper that has an end date. That will be your EAD or greencard.

Depends on the state, some will give them for the full duration that they would give anyone.

 

When my husband got his DL off his GC, his DL exp date is 2021 or 2022 (don’t remember exactly) when his GC exp date was 2018.

I got six years off the green card. But I said "typically" because many who get them off EAD only get a year. Of course it depends on the state.
