I agree being married to a foreign national does not make her eligible for a SS card. But the OP says they are married, here in the USA and has applied for AOS, EAD. With the marriage license and the NOA 1 of AOS you can go to the SS office and apply for a SS number for her. I did before and the card will say that she is not eligible for work without an EAD card. Then after get EAD they can replace the card and it will say she is eligible for work. If Texas does as MInnesota does, the learners permit will say also, pending AOS status. Thats what my ex's license had on it. Good Luck

I will try doing this. I was refused an appointment before at the SSA on the basis that the i-94 is expired, but there is no harm in trying, worst case scenario they will refuse.

It looks like the OP's could get a temporary visitor's license. 

It is probably best to just go to the office and ask.  Many states will grant licenses to people who are in the AOS process, but do not advertise this as it is not a common situation (relative to how many people apply for licenses)

I will look into this! Thank you so much!

Hello VJ!

 

I have a question, but before I ask the question, here is a quick background: I have already applied for AOS for my wife and I have the NOA1 for all three applications (I-485,I-765,I-131). She doesn't have a social security number, but I will be applying for her ITIN very soon since we will be filing taxes jointly. My question was whether she will be able to get her Learner's Permit after enrolling in a driving school, so she can drive. I have seen several threads on VJ where individuals got there driver licenses while their AOS was pending ( I know it depends on the state and other factors). We live in Texas, I wanted to see if anybody else was able to get their learner's permit or driver license while their AOS is pending. My wife's I-94 is already expired but I do have the NOA1s. Has anybody had any trouble enrolling in a driving school or getting their learner's permit in Texas? In this situation, would she be able to get her driver license?

Sorry a bit late to reply, but we are in same condition and was able to get my wife a DL in texas while AOS was pending.
