securing driver's license in CA

[ling 0]

The California DMV website sates that for birth date verification and legal presence requirements this document is acceptable " Notice of Action (I-797 Approved Petition) ".

I already received NOA for the EAD and I noticed the form is called "I-797CNotice of Action" is this the same document referred above?

or i really have to wait for the Employment authorization or permanent residence card?

The key word here is APPROVED. The NOA you got for the EAD is the receipt notice, not approval notice. Yes you have to wait for the EAD or green card before they give a driving license or ID card. We had to wait too.

We had to wait for green card, then social security card, THEN we went to get driver's license. And by the way, then you only get your temporary (can drive with an adult license) and after the driver's behind the wheel test do you get your license. Kinda crappy.

We wanted to get Claudeth a checking account and my credit union required a California I.D. We had to have something official from the USCIS so once Claudeth got her EAD we went to the DMV and got her I.D.
