I wife is trying to extend her Driver's License in Arizona, but got denied because the I-485 receipt Processing Time varies by kind of case. Even she tried to print the I-485 pending status from the USCIS.gov but still got denied. Her current EAD and Driver's Licese are going to expire on April 26, 2006. She has SSN and also has W2. EAD is still pending with < 90 days.

Is there anyone out there who got their Driver's License in Arizona without EAD and H4.

Thank you.

Take a letter from your lawyer stating that you are in valid status.

If they still deny, they are liable for discrimination. Also ask them to give in writing why they are denying. Write some letters asking for explanation and make CC to USCIS officals.

Most people who work in such places are dumb idiots. A little hint that you MEAN business will clear their screwed up brains.

Ignorance of law on their part is not your problem.

I did the same for my parents. All they wanted was an Id (they had GC stamped on passport). Even for ID they were asking for SSN, GC Card etc. I told them that they were crossing their limits.

Btw, which AZ DMV is this?
 
Thank you GreenCardVirus for your reply. This happened at Tucson DMV. They are really idiots. 2 months ago I got my DL extension by showing I485 at the same office. Now they deny my spouse's. She does not speak much English, so I am going to go with her on Monday and ask for it again. If they still deny I will request a written letter. And I will show it to the local district INS officials as anyway we are going there to try for IEAD.

My BP rose yesterday after knowing this denial and could not concentrate on anything. Luckily we have a valid H4 also, but it has only 3 more months left on it. So we are going to use it at least to get an extension for 3 more months.

Thank you,

For anyone having problems with DMV renewals when you are in possession of documents that prove legal presence, immediately bypass the local DMV office people. Find the name of the state-level Director in charge of the DMV (it's usually on the web site) and send an expedited letter explaining the situation, with copies of supporting documents. You will most likely find it will be handed to someone who understands what they are doing and action will be taken. We did this all the way back in 1993, which was around the time the CA DMV became the front-line for Immigration enforcement (a really poor idea, by the way) and we found quick satisfaction. I even have the letter signed by the then Director. I ran a copy of my letter by my immigration attorney first, to make sure that I was presenting the facts according to the letter of DMV/Immigration law.
