Hi,
Im from Illinois and holding an H4 visa. I do have a social security number, unfortunately I lost my card back in my home country. I went to SSA and was told that they cant issue me a new card
I went to DMV and showed a letter from SSA that this number was issued to me. They refused it. I dont know if I should get the Temporary Drivers license that IL is allowing H4 visa.
My concerns:
1. Technically, I have a number so if I go to SSA i feel like im deceiving them if i ask for a letter stating i am not eligible for ssn
2. How can I convince DMV to let me get a drivers license even without the social security card?
I hope somebody can enlighten me with the situation. I am such in a dilemma i need to drive around as there are no public transportation in our area. Please Please, I need help!
Thanks in advance
