Me and my wife filed an extension for our TN/TD. We've gotten a recite from the USCIS, and lucky for me, my drivers license has a few more years to go, unlucky for my wife, hers was brought in under the new California laws.
By US law, we're legally allowed to be in the country now, and residents of California. By California law, we are considered illegal it seems for getting a drivers license. They won't issue a new license without the acceptance letter from the USCIS and/or I94.
Has anyone figured out how to get around this problem? This is just ludicrous. It basically eliminates any petition by mail, unless filed way in advance. Few people can work without being able to drive! It almost seems that they are enforcing their own immigration laws (living in California without the ability to drive is essentially impossible, like most states).
