Drivers License New York I-485

[pyromatic]

Hi, I just recieved my I-485 (Just a paper which states that my case is Pending), and I was wondering if I can go to my Long Island DMV and issue for a drivers license. I have a foreign passport and I have a valid SS#. If anyone can help please do. Thanks.

For NY, you need to get the six points of identification and have a SSN. A foreign passport is only one or two points, the SSN is one, so you need at least four more points. The points are described on the DMV website.

Update 2/18/04 If you live in New York and you dont have ur EAD Card or an Alien Residential Card do not bother even going to the DMV. You will waste your time like I did. You need to have a EAD Card or an Alien Residental Card because if you dont, they will not issue you a drivers license.
