I just want to share good news. Today I received my FL driving license for 1 year. My I-94 expired on Feb 23. Took the test on Feb 5, showed them I-797 (not approval!!!, just receiving NOA), passport with I-94, marriage license. They sent it away and told me to wait 30 days. I wasnt hoping coz their instructions says I need I-797 - approval of GC or EAD....well, I got it!!! Even without approval of EAD, AOS! And now finally Im my husbands wife having the same surname :dance:

Good luck for everyone with getting US driving license. Yes, its possible to get it!

Congratulations! :D

I too was very excited and happy when I got that nice shiny new (well paper at first) Fl license in the mail. They had to of course verify my GC and when they did I got a license good for 10 years? I was expecting it to expire when my GC expires (later this year)!

Filed N400 11/7/16

Check (CC) Cashed 11/10/16

Text/Email NOA 11/16/16

Strange. Aidan says, above, that his is good for 10 years. My one-year license expires in June, so I'll let you know how long it's good for when I go to renew it..... this time with a GC. I was expecting, however, for it to be issued for only the amount of time remaining on my temp GC. :unsure:

Oh, sorry. I missed this question. It all depends upon which State you reside in. Check the DMV site for the rules and regulations in your State.
