Drivers license Raleigh north Carolina

[Shottayut 15]

Hello I am trying to get my wife an I'd from the dmv in North Carolina. When she went with my mom to do it they told here there wasn't enough time left in her i-94 so they wouldn't give it to her. But somoone told me that if she brings her I-797 for the adjustment of status with her I-94 even if it's expired she should be able to get an I'd from the dmv can anyone tell me if that's true or not

It is in some states,  check the DMV website for definitive answer

It doesn't say if they accept the i-94 if it's expired or not

Typically all acceptable documents must be unexpired

I got a Virginia driver's license recently valid for 1 year in my maiden name about a month after my i-94 expired and right after I got the AOS noa1 letters (we applied for AOS right at the end of the 90 days). But yeah, every state is different. Might as well try it though. Least they could say is no and to come back when her EAD is approved.

That's another question is like to ask. Will her EAD be approved before the interview ? We filed both at the same time.

Depends.   Some are, some aren't.   Depends on your local field office and how backlogged they are.

You won't be able to get a NC drivers license until she has a GC or EAD. In Raliegh it will most likely be a GC.

NC will only issue you the DL when she gets the GC or the EAD after you file for AOS. Not before then.....

It may or may not depending on how long the interview takes to be granted.
