Does the infuriation ever end...
 

Just went to get my Driving test done only to be told that I can't take it until I get my Adjustment of Status. I have my Social Security card and everything, so I don't understand what the problem is. I came on a K1 and am now married and have filed for adjustment of status...arrgh!!!!! I just want to break something. :mad:

That's strange, why one earth would they say that? :confused:

This explains it somewhat: Still going back until they give me what I want, I ain't gonna sit on this, I am not gonna be treated like a criminal.

I had no idea bout this. Sorry you have to deal with this. I also came on a K1 and had no problem taking my test before I was married. That was back in 2001 though. Keep us posted.

crazy! my wife didnt have SSN at time of test (late 2004) so was able to sign affidavid stating she wasnt entitled to one and was fine!

calm down.. I understand your frustration.

Had an issue with my son, who had an expired I-551 stamp... They wouldn't give him provisional license.

Infuriated, I got ahold of the secretary of one of the (5) directors for the DVA for my state. She got him to call me. I told him if my son was legal, he was entitled to drive. He concured that my son was "not illegal" and promised to call BCIS to confirm. When I told him that might take some time, he told me "we talk to them all the time, believe me, I'll talk to them". Within 30 minutes he called me back to say he had spoken with BCIS *and* called the local DVA office to confirm my son was good to go..

Sweet.... now it's your turn...

Unless you have a stamp in your passport or an EAD with some kind of date on it, as to when it expires, I doubt that they will give you one. I had the same problem when my entry passport stamp had expired and I had yet to receive my EAD. They wouldn't even issue me an AZ ID card.

Can you try a different DMV office?

When I lived in Denver I made the mistake of thinking that a rural DMV office would be quicker than waiting in the lines of the downtown DMV. Big mistake. Nobody in the office had ever seen an I-551 stamp and wouldn't give me a DL. I even showed her my out-of-state DL, but she wasn't having any of it.

In the end I went to the downtown DMV (2 hours in line) where they knew exactly what was what and gave me a 10 year DL. The woman at the downtown office was so outraged at the treatment I had received at the rural office she called her supervisor who said that he would arrange retraining for the staff at the rural office!

The infuriation ends when you have finished with the DMV, the USCIS and most other government agencies. And it gets much easier when you realise beaurocracy is the king. There are systems for the system's systems. And you cant circumvent them (easily). You have to learn to use them rather than fight them.

I made the same mistake at the dnv, they had to keep calling the main office in Denver to find out how to put me on the system.
