Went to the counter gave my application to the lady she goes through the application and says to provide proof of id and immigration status. I gave her my I-94, CA Driver’s license, SS and grant letter from the judge. She went through those and said wait she needs to call the supervisor. The supervisor comes goes through the documents and says where is your passport I said I don’t have one then he said what about employment authorization I said I don’t need one. He looked pissed when I said that. Told me to sign and take my picture and wait for my number to be called.
Number comes up I go to the lady she goes through the application and then all the docs and says she needs to call the manager I said ok. The manager comes sees the documents and makes a phone call to her superiors and asks me where is your passport I said I never had one. The manager comes backs and says she will need to fax all my documents to Albany DMV (Headquarters) to get them verified and someone will get back to me, I said when she said she doesn’t know. She took my application and copies of all the documents and gave me a receipt and I left.
After 2 hours I get a call from Albany DMV and the guy says there is no problem with my documents and they are approved and said he doesn’t know why they sent me away in the first place. He said I could go back whenever I want and complete my transaction. So I go back right away and see the manager she sees me and says you are back pretty quick.
She did my eye test took the money and said you will have you license in 2 weeks.
Now the question is will I get a 1 year temporary licence with the red tag on it or a 5 year license I guess I will have to wait and see.
