My situation.......
Entered US on business visa.
Met a lady, fell in love and married.
Filed I-485 to change status.
I know it will take up to 2 years ( based on USCIS website estimate ) to get a decision and that does not bother me.
But, in the meantime my only ID is a UK passport with NOW EXPIRED visa. Although I am legally in the US whilst my application is pending, I have nothing to prove this.
DMV refused to renew my drivers license as I am unable to prove my status.
And I-485 receipt letter states "this letter does not grant status".
I called USCIS and they said there is NO document nor letter they can give me to produce to anybody enquiring whether I am lawfully in USA despite my expired visa.
Did any of you guys ever need to prove to DMV ( or anybody else ) you were lawfully here pending your I-485 application ?
