How long from card production update to card is sent? Does it take weeks or just days?

My card was in production on 9/19 and mailed on 9/21. So a few days in my case. Did not receive the tracking number, though.

Hope this helps.

Good luck for everyone waiting patiently for your EAD/AP cards, I am sure the NBC is processing June filers now.😁

I went to DMV today and got a negative answer coz my I-94 was expired, the manager from the back desk told me they can’t accept my applicantion unless i extend my I-94, and they only cares of two documents which is passport and I-94, the rest of the docs like 797C for I-485 or marrige certificate even SSN card is not their concern...  and she wouldn’ suggest me to go through secondary for AB60 license since the wait time is about half to a year, by that time I might probably get my EAD.

My question is K1 can’t extend the expiation date and only admitted for around 90days, the valid duration dosen’t make any sense for getting a DL or ID at all ! since most of us can’t get EAD within 4 months, what are we gonna do for all these months? That’s obviously an unreasonable loophole, just a saying! Anyway make no sense to whine about it since it can’t be improve. 

I just applied my AB60 D/L two weeks ago, and I got the temporary D/L right after, and the formal D/L is in my mail box a week after the application.

They only told me if I need to apply real ID or change it back to the normal one, I need to wait until I receive the D/L card itself.

If your I-94 is expired, you have to wait for your EAD is issued. That will allow you to get a SSN so you can get your drivers license. I know this is crazy. 😕K-1 Visa holders are here on an expired Visa with no other documentation and no way to drive, work, apply for credit....etc. This process used to make more sense when the timelines were shorter.

 

I guess it's worth repeating that K-1 AOS filers should get an interim SSN with their I-94 while they can.

I got SSN card before I-94 expired, DMV dosent cares about your SSN, the only two documents they required are passport with a valid visa and correspondent I-94

I was been told that AB60 would take a long time to go through secondary check in my area,  that’s why I didn’t apply for it. Where is your local DMV? did you applied AB60 with your K-1 visa and unexpired I-94?

My local DMV office is Santa Clara, CA. But I can see they don't really want to process AB60 from their attitude, probably more work loads for them...

No I an not a K-1 visa holder actually, I am using F-1 OPT but expired last month. But they didn't even look at my visa and I-94. All they need are the passport and proof of residency (I use I-485 receipt).

 

I think this is really case by case. One of my friend is also undocumented immigrant with pending I-485, and he got a normal D/L renewal...not even an AB60

Okay, I understand. The requirements here in KS is SSN, Visa and proof of address.

Dmv requirements are different with each state. Some are lenient while some are stricter. He in texas, they need proof of insurance, ssn and residency. Written and driving test is also a must before DL is given.

Did you get an email with the tracking number as soon as it said card was mailed or did you wait a while for the tracking number?

Did you get the tracking number in a separate email or was it in the online case status thing?
