I was able to get a temporary driving license (but still need to send proof of legal presence to get my full license). I'm in California.

I think most states nowadays are complying to the federal ID requirements. They need to verify the applicant's legal status before the issuance of a Driver license. I went through the same process in Ohio.

Yes of course, but what I mean is that I am allowed to drive with a temporary (paper) driving license , that allows me to drive on the road legally. It cannot serve as an ID though. I cannot get an ID without showing legal presence though, which I can only do once I get my EAD/AP at least.

Would you guide me for more details about the temporary driving license? whats the required documents for the temporary DL? All I got now is ssn card, NOA1 for AOS, EAD and AP, marriage certificate. And I’m in east Bay Area. I think the DMV regulation should be the same as yours.

Our interview is scheduled for October 10th. If we are approved how long do you guys think it will take to get the card? We have our Canadian wedding on October 27th, so we will be cutting it extremely close. Thanks in advance!

I got my card exactly a week after my interview but it can vary. I also had a trip booked about 2 weeks from the interview.

 

If you get approved before the trip then you can get your passport stamped through an infopass appointment. That stamp will allow you to prove your PR status.

 

What I did was pre-schedule an infopass a week from the interview in case the card wasn't gonna come in time.

I know we all are impatiently waiting but I’m not sure if it’s justified to get angry on later filers lol. Although it is true that they go by the priority date, there are two other things that are crucial based on my understanding as well as what one of the level 1 support staff told me: one major factor in all of this is that they look at your country of origin and/or where your passport is from as well as your local office and how busy it is. So currently, the most scrutinized nations are in the following order:

1) Mexico

2) China

3) India

These are obviously due to the high immigration numbers from these nations so we can expect delays is what they say. But that’s just my understanding so we don’t know what happens behind the scenes. 

 

My PD is May 24. 

 

I did AOS from F-1 student visa, not K-1. 

Don't get me wrong... Im not mad at any later filers or filers...my disappointment is towards USCIS... Im very happy at all filers! specially at ones that already got a response.

Hi! I am in the East Bay too. I went for the written test in Pittsburg, and did behind-the-wheel in Walnut Creek. I just brought my passport, I-797C receipt and a utility bill that showed my current address. I am only eligible for a temporary one and they need me to send proof of legal presence (like a green card or EAD) in order to receive my full driving license. Alternatively, ask them about AB60 which allows "undocumented" residents to get a d/license.

 

Good luck!
