California drivers license

[DAN02006 0]

Hi ! I went to DMV for my California driver's license and was turned back as I was unable to show my legal presence even though I have a SS# My I-94 is no longer good as it expires on Sept 20. The girl said I need to wait for the greencard or request USCIS for document proving my legible legal presence?? I told her I have applied for my greencard.

I do need a drivers license to move around here..and helps as an ID too

thanks

In California you can either show them EAD, or AOS NOA1.

Question asked today.

I use my EAD to apply for it, they don't accept any of the AOS NOA unless it is an approval notice.

Your I-94 is your only current document that you have to prove legal presence... What about your currently unexpired I-94 did the DMV not like?

Why is your I94 no longer good if it expires the 20th of september??

Thats why I hate the dmv!!!

I think it has to be valid for 1 year.

We went through this.

For CA you will need to have either:

A 1797a proving you green card is approved

your green card

an EAD

or a new I-94, which we got when we returned from a trip using AP. (we got an I-94 good for one year)

Yes - an i-94 must have at least 60 days validity remaining.

They will only accept AOS/EAD APPROVAL notices - an applicaiton in an dof itself does not indicate an approval is guaranteed, thereby not being proof of your legal status.

I'm aware of the site & what it says. Was at the DMV this morning, actually.

Hate to burst your bubble but I live in California & have been thru this as have many others.

True for my wife as well. We decided not to make those DMV CA trips until she has her GC which is on its way.

The license will only be valid to the date the I-94 expires.

Anyway, I do have another question, my apologies to the OP.

Since NOAs of approval was brought up here, will the Welcome to the US notice be enough for this purpose (DMV, CA ID and DL)? It does have the wordings "This is to notify you that your application for permanent residence has been approved".

Does anyone know? We appreciate any input.

Thanks for your inputs....I had got my CA Driver's license in 2003 which expired in jan 2007 (I got it on the basis of my I94...no SS#) I got the renewal notice in Nov 2006 and was required to apply in person which was not possible. Hence I want to get it renewed....

As per DMV..the I94 needs to be valid for 60 days....

Normally how long does EAD take to happen??
