Can't get a state ID while Aos is on the process

[ausomekc 2]

It's been 7 weeks since I applied for California state ID, until now I haven't got my ID because DMV is waiting for approval from USCIS to issue me my state ID. Have anyone experienced the same?

Yes, they will not give your state ID without approval nor certification/document from USCIS. I applied for my state ID here in Texas and when I received my ID its has a very short validity date coz they refer on my I-94, so will applied or renew once I have my conditional green.

I was issued one with no problems (I mean, except the regular pain that is the DMV) in New York State, using my EAD as identification.

Isn't NYfamous for issuing state ID to illegals as well though?

Lucky you!

I struggle to see what that has to do with anything. An EAD is worth 3 points out of the 4 required, as per NYS DMV's listed requirements.

It wasn't luck, it's a valid ID document worth 3 points (out of a required 4) accepted by NYS.

Was just trying to say it's easier to get state ID in NY compared to other states

I know. That's would be the accurate way to word it, as it's what's relevant here.

What I mean is lucky you for a hassle free process. Here in Texas me and my husband file my AOS with my new name change on it and DPS Texas wont recognized my name change since the they don't recognized our marriage so ended up filing a court order for my name change.

Ah, gotcha. Yikes! I knew it was easy in New York, but I didn't realize just how difficult it was elsewhere.

....and expensive too, sometimes we feel like a second class citizen cause we need to travel 600 miles (New Mexico) from the our place just to get married and now waiting for what may the court decision for my name change.

I can sympathize with you. My husband and I spent almost 2 years apart because of DOMA, but it's been easy to put that behind us from living in New York where both the federal and state governments legally recognize our relationship. I'm so sorry/angry that this stuff continues to this day. The lengths you have to go to in order to deal with the everyday ramifications your situation is criminal (well, it should be).

Not everyone is so lucky. Indeed, there is no federal law protecting LGBT workers against discrimination based on their sexual orientation. And while some states and cities have passed their own protections, there are still 29 states where you can actually be fired for being gay, leaving more than half of all total workers vulnerable to employment discrimination.

Thanks for the sympathy though. :-)
