I765 approval in a couple months?   Your a funny guy.  More like 6 to 8, BTW.  SSN can come a couple weeks after approval but sometimes not at all.  Just gotta wait to see.

 

How do foreign visitors travel domestically cuz they surely don't possess a US ID?  

Filed June 1st got EAD on October 16 got SS card 3 days later.

2008 is not 2020, but good to know the SSN worked

Sorry, I meant US* Government-issued ID. If any country's unexpired passport counts, then we should be good (along with carrying NOA1 of course).

There is a DL exception for expired licenses due to Covid, so the implication is that these need to be current.

Yes- I am an AOS spouse without a travel permit or anything as of yet and just used my Canadian passport to fly to Rhode Island for my sister in laws wedding!  I was nervous about it too but they asked zero questions.  We are TSA precheck which made it easy.  No one asked any w’s because we crossed no borders.

We have already applied for my wife's AoS (I-130 and I-485), I-765 and I-131 in September. However, my wife does not have any state ID (Texas). We went to get a state ID today with the Notice of Action (NOA1?) and other appropriate documents with our names and address but they refused it, saying we have to wait for her to receive the SSN until we can apply for her ID.

 

We have travel plans for December and my wife does not have a government-issued ID. She has her passport but she's already overstayed - can that put her in a potentially unfortunate position while flying?

 

 

 

Well driving could be always an option  depending of the distance of course and if you drive.

If she has filed a proper I-485, she has been granted "authorized stay" while the I-485 is pending.  She should carry the NAO1 to substantiate that fact if asked........overstay is irrelevant at this point if you are a US citizen.
