2 forms of ID reqd for DL in VA, one's the passport what's the other?

[purilisa]

We have the passport and a bank credit/debit card picture id issued in USA(which we thought would serve as the second form of id) The DMV refuses to recognize the credit/debit picture id as one form of id. We do have proof of legal presence.
So the only hindrance in getting that license is the absence of the second ID.

My dad has B1/B2 valid for 10 years multiple entry visa.

Unable to get the second id. If ANYONE have had success or know something please please help!!

Thank you

Most of the id's listed there are things that pertain to american citizens like birth cert,social sec card etc ... A visitor to this country would only have his passport for id.

If you are on visitor visa like my mother was, she was not eligible for a new york drivers license since she was not a resident but a visitor. However, she had an international drivers permit issued from India valid for a year and she was driving legally based on that permit.
In any case, if you are on visitors visa then your I 94 document is valid for a maximum of 6 months and the new york dmv does not issue a license if your I 94 card has less than 6 months on the day that you apply at the DMV office.
Basically, out here, a person on visitors visa can drive if he/she has an international drivers permit from home country.
In case you find out something contrary to this at the VA DMV hopefully, please post it here so others can benefit.
All the best once again.
