Hi,

I've seen some discussion about getting driver licenses (DL) with AOS filed... It looks like various states take the proof of legal residency differently...

My wife was granted DL in VA only for 90 days that her K-1 was valid... We just filed AOS so we have couple of months till EAD arrives. Does anybody know if NOA-1 for AOS is enough evidence for DMV to grant (prolong in our case) the license? I'd be especially interested about Virginia...

Well we'll go and try anyways but it'd be nice to know about someone's experience...

Otherwise my wife will have to drive with her russian license which seem to be acknowledged here with some reservations...

thanks,

obender

A few other people were talking about problems in Virginia earlier on. I'm afraid I can't remember who it was, though.

A rule of thumb: if you can't get any luck at one office, try for another one in the area. That seems to be a solution that works well when you're getting run around, and someone isn't paying her any mind.

I would assume, though, that your AOS receipt should be sufficient for that extension. Cobble together your marriage license, her SSN (if she has one) and other documents. Keep escalating if someone's really being pushy.

My husband and I live in Virginia too. We went to DMV three times. Each time they asked for a different document. When we finally had all the documents they wanted, the K-1 had expired. We have filed and received NOA1 for AOS and EAD but do not have the green card or EAD. He had a 90 day temporary work authorization stamp from JFK which has also expired. It was easier to get a social security card than a drivers license.

Where in Virginia do you live? We are in Richmond. How long can she drive with her Russian DL?
