    Hello . So like I promised . I had my interview today at Charlotte NC . It was very fast , first after the security you have to wait in the information office there they give us our number for the appointment and they directed us to the appointment waiting room .

    The officer was very nice and kind

    She asked first for our passports and my husband (citizen) ID. 

    1-She asked to my husband where and when we met .

    2- she asked when and where we get married

    3- when we arrived in the USA with the k1 visa and k2 and where

    4-she asked my husband if he knows my father and my mother names

    5- she asked my hubby my city of birth and citizenship

    6- if he knows my daughter (k2) birthday

    7-she asked our address here in the USA

    I have been in like 3-4 offices. I can get a license on my K1 and I-94 which would expire when my I-94 would. Which is today :D

    They didn't care about the NOA for the I-485, because it does not grant any legal status....

    I tried to explain the SAVE database and what is in Texas, but she said never heard about being verified by them and getting a letter from the department of public safety....

    Maybe I should try with an expired I-94 instead ? :D

    yeah, its a circus as every state is different...even the evaluation by the personnel in that particular DMV office may be different.

     

    We were able to extend from the i94 expiration date - North Carolina ID/License - with the i485 Biometrics NOA - DMV extended from the Notice date another 6 months.

    But, several supervisors had to chat about the whole affair before figuring out which of the (4) i797's i presented to extend from and what the new date of expiration would be.

    You got to just take it one issue at a time....

    Follow-up to North Carolina Motor Vehicle.....

     

    we were able to extend Ana's North Carolina ID and continue with driving exam for another 6 months using the i-797 notice from our biometrics appointment.

    They extended another 6-months from the notice date.  We had all the i-797's with us (i485, i765,i131) but they used the biometrics notice - which had the latest date anyway.

     

    Interestingly, they did not extend from the expiration date on the i94 (which was a september date - they used the August date on the biometrics notice).  

    Anyway, that was the decision they made at that DMV office - they had to have a few conversations among several of the officers to make their collective decision.

    I'm happy we got it done and Ana can keep testing.

    To all our Carolina friends on this thread, please stay safe :)  

    Hahaha...we are in Charlotte.

     

    Leaving tommorow afternoon to drive southwest out of the affected area...completely out of the State.

    Going to Oxford, Alabama...about 1.5 hours west of Atlanta to play in Talladega National Forest...should be sunny all weekend.   :)

    This is incorrect.

    Once you file for AOS, your NOA1 replaces your I-94. THAT is proof of legal status.
    You have a pending application with USCIS so you are in status legally. 

    Imagine the horror for those that wait almost 2 years for a GC to be here "out of status" the entire time because I-94 is valid for only 90 days. 

    You are only "out of status" for the time between when your I-94 expires and when you file AOS and technically receive your NOA1

    Yes, I understand this.

    However, I cant use the NOA 1 to extend the NC ID/License.. it has no residency authority. Nor, do I believe it guarantees anything.

    I think they call that ...."being in limbo"....hahaha

     

    The question was regarding NC DMV requirements.

    Dude at DMV says he needs another document from USCIS with an expiration date - extending legal residency.

    I assume that is a temp. green card extending residency for another period of time.

    May I ask what proof of legal status you showed DMV to be able to apply for driver's license? I heard the NOA for AOS can be used and I just want to confirm.

    Primary for legal status is I-94, such that in NC, at least, her NC I.D. card formally expires when her I-94 expires and we will have to wait for temp. green card for extending that expiration and any other formal NC documentation.  This seems to vary by State.  Now, we are pushing hard to get her NC driving permit before the I-94 expires so she can begin driving.

     

    Other ID required for NC...foreign passport (identity 1), birth certificate (identity 2), social security card (which we applied for as soon as she entered US), marriage certificate (for her name change), joint bank account statement for proof of address.

     

    We applied for and received her NC I.D. card prior to filing for AOS.

    AOS NOA1.... I dont think would suffice for NC because it does not have any "dates" authorizing residency.  It's just a receipt notice?

     

    Between entering USA on K-1 and temporary green card....the only document authorizing residency is the I-94.  Once I-94 expires, you are technically "out of status" until temp. green card is issued

    authorizing a new residency period. (as I understand).

    Might be a state thing. John’s ID came in the mail yesterday and it’s good for a year. 

    Hoping to take the drivers test next month too. He didn’t have a license in Brazil either so we’ve been practicing lol. He’s a natural to my surprise 😆

     

    any word on your biometrics? 

    One year, that's great!

     

    We did biometrics today, took 26 minutes...hahaha. fast and painless (no waiting).  Now will wait for the notice for the interview, I guess?

     

    Then we went straight to DMV for Ana to take the Driving Permit Test on computer...she finally said she was ready.

    But, she failed after 12 questions. It was hard she said - very different from the online testing quizes...said they showed photos of intersections and asked questions and some other obscure questions.

    Anyway - she has some experience now on what to expect and I swear they make the first attempt test harder than the follow-ups.

    I told her no problem, we will go back tomorrow and try again.  We will go back every day until the 8th of September or until she passes - I figure she can make 6 more attempts...hahaha

    stay tuned.....

    good luck to, John!

    After 8 hours at the DMV they finally approved for his ID. We have his SSN so that kind of helped too. 

    @Ana Maria mentioned that they got their's with an expiration date same as the I-94. However, John's I-94 is expired. So I have no idea what it will look like. They said we should receive in the mail in 7-10 days. Haven't gotten it yet, so we'll see. 

    hmmm....interesting.

    Maybe the states are different in their licensing.

     

    Ana's North Carolina ID expiration is same date as I-94.

    DMV dude says we come back in when we get new paperwork for USCIS with new dates???? I'm assuming temp. green card?

     

    She never had a driver's license in Brasil...

    We will try to go in for Driver's Permit test in September.

    I'll bring what we have and the AOS NOA1 notices...see what they tell us.

    I'm curious....rs

    Just finished up our biometrics. We did our walk in a week early. No questions asked. It was so easy and quick I felt like we were missing something. 

    Same experience as the others. Came in, filled out a form, took picture and fingerprints, answered a customer service survey. In and out in 25 minutes. 

     

    The next wait continues.

     

    We’re at the DMV now trying to get an ID card. Fingers crossed as our 1-94 is expired. Didn’t find out that it had to be within 30 days of expiring until last week. But no harm in trying. Wish us luck. None of the clerks look like they’re in the mood to do any favors. Lol 

    Received our biometrics letter yesterday - appointment set for August 30th - exactly one month after NOA1 date.

     

    As for DMV - here in Charlotte - we got Ana her NC ID but it will expire on Sept.8th (when the I-94 expires).  Dude at DMV was pretty knowlegeable - says they can only authorize the ID / License per the I-94 or the next document we receive from USCIS - presumably here temporary green card.  When we receive the temp. green card (the validity period will be shown) - we go back to DMV to extend the expiration date on her ID..

    We finally got an update! Still no email/text or letter. We called USCIS and they gave us receive  numbers for all 3 cases! The clock can actually start now lol and my nerves are a little less frazzled. 

     

    So have the biometric appointment letters slowed slowed down too now? 

     

     

    Janay,

    How long did it take to get your NOA1 receipt.  Our package hit the lockbox 8 days ago...
