Re: Another question about CA Driver License I am not sure why they require proof of legal presence. Usually they only do it the first time, though maybe they keep a record of when your status expires. If your I-94 is expired you are here illegally and CA does not issue driver licenses to...

Re: DL and in-State tuition for illegal alien in Arizona You're welcome! I don't know what they would say if you show an out-of-State DL even though you live in Arizona. As an illegal alien you are not eligible for in-state tuition at AZ state universities, regardless of whether you have...

Re: Enforcement of Immigration Rules a Federal Matter Only If the passport is real and the visa is also real it would be illegal for the MVD to take them for that reason. But foreign passports are only valid for Arizona MVD ID purposes if they have an I-94 or admission stamp inside them so...

Re: Arizona Driver License for Illegal Alien A bank account will not help you in getting a driver license, but a bank or credit card could be used as a secondary form of ID. A bank account does not help you prove a Social Security Number. If you don't have one, you don't have one, and a...

Unreadable Post Your writing is so hard to read that I didn't finish, please edit your post so it's normal and readable and I will try to help you!

Once you get a SS#, it's yours for life. But to get a duplicate card you have to be in legal status in most cases. If you already have a card you probably won't need to get a new one (unless it has the "NOT VALID FOR WORK" legend and you want to work while waiting) until your adjustment is...

Which State?

To qualify for an F-1 student visa, she'd have to be a full-time student. The criteria for being considered full-time are 12 units per quarter or semester. Some schools will allow you to have less units for short-term sessions, like 4 units for a 6-week summer program or something along those...

Were your immigration documents just issued? In that case, they simply might not have been entered into the computerized verification system and the DMV might be able to do it a few days later. I wouldn't know how long the DHS takes to respond. Back in '01 when a friend of mine applied for a...

You're very welcome, Amirali! Yes, an out-of-state driver license is accepted as photo ID by the California DMV. If it's unexpired, it might also get you your license without the driving test. They do have the ability to require a driving test of you if they wish, though, but it is not...

The I-797 doesn't have a picture on it, right? In that case, you'd probably also need proper photo ID.

Before you get married, you and your prospective spouse have to apply for a marriage license. After you get married, you will be issued a marriage certificate. So a marriage license is a proof of permission and authorization to marry. A marriage certificate is proof that you actually became...

Thanks for the good idea, talkative. Most of them will actually rent based on a home country driver license only - that's how tourists rent cars, and the insurance you get with the car will be enough for the DMV.

Once you have the "Form SSA-L676 SSN Card Denial Notice" it should be fine, because that's official proof that she's not eligible. I don't know about your State, but I have helped friends do it in California and it's always worked like a charm. One even got a DL when he was here on a tourist...

Re: Change of Address and Stamping You have to report your change of address within 10 days of moving. When you get stamped doesn't make a difference about that.
