Happy New Year! My green card expired in Nov along with my driver's license. We applied for a removal of conditions in Sept and got a letter stating that my green card was extended for a year to show that for employment and travel, so assumed it worked for my driver's license too! When I went to renew it they gave me an extension for 60 days while they checked my status with immigration. Then I got a letter from the DVM saying that the green card I showed them had expired and they wouldn't process my driver's license until they saw a valid green card. I went back to the DVM with my letter ( I-797) and the lady called the department of revenue to see if the letter was sufficient proof but they told her no, that they wanted the actual green card. Well my temporary permit expires on Jan 5 and I still don't have a green card. The DMV is saying they won't issue me one or extend my permit unless I have a valid Green Card. Has this happened to anyone?! Any advise?! I'm just so frustrated I live in a very small town and need a car to get everywhere!!! Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

The requirements vary greatly from state to state as to what they will accept for proof of residency.

Make an infopass appointment and get your passport stamped with a I551 stamp.
Take this to DMV and try to get a new DL. Good luck!

Thanks so much tweety!!! I just got off the phone with USSIC and that's what they recommended I do. I'll have to call the DMV back and see if they'll accept that cuz other wise it's not worth and 1hr and 1/2 drive to Kansas City if they'll reject it.
