State ID Card

[yanjeff]

Today we tried to get her ID Card. The man said he could not issue until she has Permanent Residence card.

 

We already have her SS Card.

We married this past Sunday.

 

Has anyone had this problem before?

The problem may be Louisiana!

It varies from state to state. We didn't have any problem in Oregon.

No problems in Illinois.

Most states DMV handle things like state ID.

 

This is a state by state thing. Some states like Oregon only need SSN, but most other states require evidence of lawful presence, (EAD, or Green-card).

 

NY requires SSN, and (Valid I-94 [that is valid for 1 year or longer], OR EAD, OR I-551 [stamp or Green-card])

I just spoke to an Immigration attorney here in the state.

She said we should only need SS Card, Passport with Valid Visa and I-94.

And told me to try another DMV in a nearby city.

when jackey got his ID/ Driving permit he needed to show his GC so they can see the expiration date....how long have you been waiting for the GC?

"Non-immigrants must have 180 days left on their I-94 in order to be issued a license", according to www.dmv.org (La.)

We had to wait till she had the EAD card. Than no problem. We waited till her I-94 was almost expired. We had married and even filed the AOS paper work, but they wanted the EAD card at that point.

That answers my question.
