DMV Refusing to re-issue driver license

[pegali]

Hi there,

I am in california and my case in pending in 9th Circuit. I have also filed I-130 based on marriage.

I lost my driver license which was valid till 2007. I requested DMV to re-issue the license. Its been almost a year and DMV is refusing to issue me any license. Their stand is that I am "out of status" and they cannot issue me a driver license. I am married and have kids, my wife is US citizen.

If anyone can help in this situation that will be much appreciated.

Regards

HOw do they know you are "out of status"?

Didnt they send you a renewal notice? I wasnt aware that showing your passport was necessary for obtaining a drivers liecnse. Just the SSN card i thought....

on the other hand... DMV have already issued you a CADL which is valid till 2007 and unfortunately you've accidentally lost it. there's no reason why they wouldn't re-issue it as you have already gone with the process before in applying for an original DL.

well, i guess its ARNOLD STRONG's stupid law again.

Goodluck!

Letter from SS office

Take your application receipts from INS and go to SS office. Apply for SS #, most likely it will be denied, but they will give you a letter (insist on the denial letter!) that shows why you are not eligible for SS # right now. Take this letter and go to DMV to get your driver license. It worked with me in GA.
