Hi,

Can i get my driver's license if i have my i-797. does having I-797 mean i FILL THE REQUIREMENT FOR LEGAL PRESENCE and therefore exempt from the SSN requirement? bcause it sa:confused:ys on the DMV site that if i am legally here but ineligible for SSN then I am exempt from the SSN requirement. I am confused help me plz?
 
As far as I know, in OHIO, you have to present an I-797 form indicating you had filed I-485 requesting change your status.

In my case, I am spouse of US citizen, entering US with K3 visa. I went to DMV applied for the driver's license, they can only allow me to apply for temporary permit package with I-797, and it is non-renewable, which means I have to take all tests again when this permit expired. Without I-797, you can do nothing about it.

However, in Texas, you can get your renewable driver's license just with your passport!! I know because I just did it. The staff of DMV in Dallas asked me what was my status, I told her I was visitor, got no SSN, and filling some forms, then took a "paper test" on computer, had road test another day, and every thing done within next 2 weeks.

By the way, my friend told me, if the staff asks your status, just tell them "visitor", then you dont need SSN or I-797. I am not sure if it is legal or not, but it seems work.
