I-94 and and Application for CA Driving License CA - DMV
Hi,
On Friday my wife and i went to the DMV office in LA for an appointment to apply for our Californian Driving license. I, being a USC applied without a problem. However my wife who is in the uS on an immigrant visa (CR1 visa) was told she needed to present an I-94 and should return with this. We've now tried to print hers out but it seems that the I-94 is only for non-immigrant visas. Is that correct? If so I'm assuming the DMV officer was wrong?
Thanks!

Sorry to hijack the post but what are the steps for driving when moving from the UK to California
So far I've read that I've to apply within 10 days of landing there. I won't have a SSN for 3 months as I'm on a L2 visa but this is wavered.
Will I have to pass tests again and what happens if you miss or fail the test within this 10days and how hard is the test(s)

In the event that you are stopped or questioned by police so long as you are polite and respectful, and if asked, explain why you don't yet have a CA license, it is unlikely that you will experience a problem. ..... Under those circumstances I wouldn't admit to knowing about the "10 day limit".

You don't need to wait for your EAD to get your SSN - I applied for mine 10 days after arriving on an L2 and got it no problem at all. They did ask for my marriage certificate at the social security office - luckily I had it with me as there was no mention of them requiring it online...!

An EAD is not required to get a driver's license. Many spouses on L2 visa never get an EAD since they don't plan on working. If an EAD was required, H4 visa holders could never get a driver's license.
