That's is generally done within 14 days of arrival and must be applied for by day 76 of your I94 expiry. Applying for one in your married name is often useless and you should apply in your maiden name even if you're married for a better chance at getting one at all.

 

With that can i also obtain an ID , driving license or a permit to drive for the moment being ?

 

Depends on your state. Google "(your state) DMV Non-US citizen Driver's License)".

Research is a must.
