I94 EXPIRED, now what

[mlm399 0]

Hi,

My husbands I94 has now expired, and we still haven't sent in any paper work for his AOS. I am still in the process of getting everything together that we will need. Is there anything we need to do, so that he remains legal here in the US, because if someone were to ask for his paper work....the only thing we would be able to show them would be his expired I94. I'm just a little worried, because right now we don't have any paper work saying that he is legally here in the US. I mean he has his Visa, is that all he really needs til we do file for AOS.

Also...Does anyone out there know about getting a drivers license here in the US, specifically in Texas before he actually has his green card in his hand. I would love if he could at least get his permit, even better if he could take the test for his license. However, last time we went, we showed his social security card, and his unexpired I94, and they told us that he couldn't even take the permit test....That he had to ahve a I94, or some other sort of paper that was valid for more than 6 months.....grrrrrrrrrrr

Technically since you have not filed for the next level of immigration benefits he could be subject to deportation (I doubt it would happen).

Without proof of legal presence you will find it impossible to get a DL. If I remember correctly, Texas just rewrote the requirements to conform with REAL ID legislation. This is occuring in every state now. When he gets EAD you ought to be able to get a DL

file i-130 right away...so he will not have any problems with the immigration...in this website,details of how you can file for AOS can be read...maybe you will also need an immigration atty to back you up..

We filed our paperwork a few weeks after the I-94 had expired, and from the other posters who have done the same on this site, it doesn't seem to be a problem as long as you've married before the 90 days he was here on the K-1. I'd still get it together as soon as possible so you can get the EAD and the driver's license and he can adjust to life in the US.

Ummmm a K-1 does not require an I-130 to adjust status... The correct form is the I-485

The above is wrong.

You do not need tpo file for I-130 as long as you were married within the 90 days. All you need to do is file for AOS as soon as you can. It does mean he is out of status until you do file but some people have waited months and even years before they file foe AOS.

He will be able to get a DL oncebhe has his EAD that you file for along with his AOS and takes about 3 months to be approved.

what your last arrival status was

My husband has an International Drivers liscence. He can use that until we decide to go for his real liscence when EAD is in hand.

I guess not many people have one of those? At least he can drive while he's here, and my insurance company added him to the policy without a problem.
