Florida ID

[Xkaret510 4]

My Fiancee and I will be arriving to U.S at the end of March, she has a K-1 Visa

I would like her to get a Florida ID aso soon as possible, I checked the requirements and she needs a social security card first.

My question is: How long does she has to wait in order to get that ID. How long does she has to wait to get SSC ??

Can she drive with her out of the country driver license?

She can drive with her out of country license provided it is still valid. Double check FL rules as to when she would be required to have a FL license (usually X days after moving to the state).

It took me about 2 weeks to receive SSN car but that probably varies based on how busy offices are?

DMV in FL requires SSN name to match Passport and immigration documents. Drivers licence (and im pretty sure state id too) will only be valid as long as a legal presence document so in her case until I-94 expiration. I skipped that step and waited for EAD to get my DL valid for a year then renewed when my gc arrived.
