Hi! You are the kind soul who helps everyone out here with the info you know. You replied to my queries once before, thanks for the same.
Well, my wife (i'm a US citizen) just got her EAD card on saturday and we went to apply for a learner's driving permit today for her and the clerk there said that she cannot issue her a permit because it says on her passport that her visa is B1/B2!!! She showed them the EAD card but they said that it says you are authorized to work and thats it....to that my wife was , "how do i get to work if you won't let me drive??!!! I jsut saw your time line and you did receive your drivers licence before you got your case approved....pray tell how do we convince these people here in MO???!!
My wife also applied for her SS number , she went the very next day to the SS office after she got her EAD, so unfortunately the system was not updated so her EAD card wouldn't read there so she was given a letter saying that her EAD card needs to be verified with USCIS and then a SS card will be mailed to her.....is this routine???!! Any thoughts on this??
Finally, you think we should wait for her SS card to show up before going back to the driver's license place??? Please please respond....
And congrats on being approved....
