Drivers license, Pennsylvania
i'm currently awating an answer from bcis, ( i didn't have a medical done, at the interview they told us to get it done and sent it to them, i asked if there would be another interview, she said no.)
i get it done right away and send it, long while passes, and then i get "Receipt for i-72" and that a decision will be made by september 7..WHAT!? she basically said that she could not do anything until i had the medical.
so now it seems they are acting as if this was some "additional evidence"...whatever really.
Now we're thinking about moving, maybe NJ maybe Pennsylvania.
I read that pennsylvania won't give a DL without "green card" or the i-551 stamp, notice of action or approval. I heard the same from my aunt.
I called Penndot, and for "non-citizens", immigrants, they said i needed the previous.
it's insane that one state licenses you to drive and next won't allow you.

Re: Drivers license, Pennsylvania
Check for posts from MarDae. PennDOT did require the I551 stamp when we went through, but they did not for her fiance by the time he went through. I would like to think my prolonged explanations of the position they were putting us in helped initiate the change. We were using the office at Cameron and Sycamore in Harrisburg, but the guidelines should all be the same.

Re: Drivers license, Pennsylvania
They are only asking for the following from me to get a PA DL :
- 2 forms of ID (passport - ssn card)
- Lease + utility Bill
- proof that I am adjusting status (NoA)
They did not want the actual stamp.
I have an international Belgian license, so they said I will be issued a learners permit after the theory tests and then be allowed to take my road test immediatly without doing 600hrs on the learners permit.
This is very weird, as a German or French license is traded in for a PA non commercial immediatly. And the only difference with my license is that they have one letter difference on the front ( F for france or D for Germany, where I have B for Belgium).

Re: Drivers license, Pennsylvania
I might have explained it a wrong way, here are the requirements :
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms...s/pub195nc.pdf
It clearly says "For applicants of adjustment of status" :
- Social Security Card or letter from Social Security Administration indicating that Social Security Administration did not make a decision yet,
- 2 proofs of residency,
- Immigration documentation indicating status, and
- One of the following:
• Employment Authorization Document I-688B or I-766
• Passport

Re: Drivers license, Pennsylvania
I've heard about people geting rejected before, but i believe a Print out of their requirements for an immigrant adjusting status should (hopefully) do the trick.
about the 600hrs..it says if over 21 one can take the schedule the road test immediatly rigth?
NOA meaning a receipt for the i-485?

Re: Drivers license, Pennsylvania
Last year, I got my Pa driver's license without a SSN. I just showed
them my Taxpayer Identification Number card, my passport, my K3 visa,
Canadian Driver's License and letter from SSA office that they can't
give me a SSN.
