New York License - Frustrating People

[zulu400]

Hi,
I went to get the License from NY for my wife (on H4 Visa) . They need 6 points.

Valid passport = 3 points.
Health Insurance card = 1 point.

We need 2 more pts. The letter from SSA saying SSN cannot be issued does not carry any points.

Possible options are: (each carry a point )
1. Utility Bill
2. Credit Card
3. Grocery Card.

The problem is that none of the above three can be obtained without a SSN. So basically I'm caught in a Catch-22 situation....

Guys, please advice me on how to proceed. Any inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Note: We have enough time on Visa left, so that is not an issue.

but i have heard from a lot of h4 wives saying they dont get driving license these days -it is not issued to them bcos of their dependent status

3. Grocery Card. (same way get her additional card from Sears or Costco, Kohls)
