Hello,

After submitting AOS papers, am I now allowed to get a state ID or any identification that bears my married name?

I appreciate your help.

Individual States have their own rules and regulations about issuing IDs/Driving Licenses. Please consult your state's DOL/DMV for specific information/requirements.

You can get a SSN at any time. But the state ID is dependent on what the rules are in the state that you live. My asawa had a SSN 5 days after she came here in her single name, and we had it changed after we got married. But she did not have a state id card for almost 9 months due to not having her green card.

:oops: Forgot to talk about Social Security....Take a look at SS-5 instructions, make sure that you have the required info, fill it out, and take to your local SSA office. Unsure of your particular immigration situation, you may have to wait for your EAD or GC. Did you get an I-94 from CBP at your POE, is it still valid?

Good luck on your immigration journey.

It depends on the state, usually you need an unexpired I-94 however if you are in California you can apply for the DL just you just have to prove your identity. Check the DMV website. For SSN you need to wait for your EAD, submitting an AOS is just a submission it does not qualify you to anything yet.

You should have started your own thread. A moderator may move these posts so you have your own.

Most of the time, the request from your DS-260 is never processed. I waited two weeks then went to the Social Security Administration office myself and applied in person. Go and do that or you will literally never get it.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.
