Hi guys, I have another question regarding something which we will use for AOS later.

We are soon going to register a car in NC and want the title to be under both our names, which will be used for proof of marriage later on in AOS filing along with joint savings account, joint current account, joint lease (we have that now), joint car insurance, joint utilities and joint credit cards. To title a car and register it under someone though, the DMV website says both people must have valid drivers license or a valid identification card.

My wife cannot drive and does not have any valid license (hers expired years ago in her home country). We will have her license done once I've taught her to drive on the right side of the road, or once she takes drivers ed, if needed.

So we are now going to try and see if we can get her a North Carolina Identification Card from DMV. It says there that what is needed is:

* Proof of Residency;

* Proof of Age and Identity;

* It is required that you present DMV with a valid Social Security card. If you are not eligible for a Social Security card, you must provide documentation issued by the United States Government indicating legal presence.

We have proof of age and identity, her valid social security card and a joint lease as well as correspondence from the Social Security Administration to prove residency.

My question, can she apply for this identification card without a GC? I am unclear as to if they simply mean proof of residence in NC or proof of residence in the country (ie LPR/Citizenship).

If she qualifies to get this identity card for the purpose of registering our car under her name, can she apply for the card AND register the title under her married name (if we show our marriage certificate) or does it have to be under her maiden name as stated in social security card (have not changed it yet as we have limited transport. Hence-car).

Honestly your best bet is to call the DMV for your state /area and ask them.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

I was going to do this but remembered how sometimes government agents make mistakes (misinformation line). Thought I would ask the good people of VJ before making that call.

This stuff is gonna very a lot from state to state. Utah distinguishes between proof of Utah residency and proof of legal presence. You need both to get a driver's license.

Proof of Utah residency is actually very lenient: a couple of pieces of mail to your local address from a bank or major credit card will work for that.

For proof of legal presence, they'll accept an EAD or Green Card. An unexpired I-94 might work as well, but my Canadian drivers license was valid until mid-December, so I held off on getting a local license until well after my I-94 was expired, so I don't know.

NC's specific guidelines will probably be different, but I think most states will need both proof of local residency and proof of legal presence in the US.

DON'T PANIC

She will need a EAD or GC to get a State ID or a Learner's Permit or a Driver's License. That's the only proof of legal presence in the US that is accepted by the DMV in NC. By the way, I didn't have the joint car registration thing for my AOS so no hurry really and you guys already have a lot covered for the proof of marriage.

Cheers..

This is also my problem. Pls let me know what will happen next. Thanks
