After 5 motnhs, I finally received my SS card. I ran to the NY DMV and apply for a driver's license (they ask for an EAD that is valid for at least 6 more motnhs and mine was almost on the limit). Anyway, I showed my EAD, SS card and Marriage license (they dont accept passport with K-1 visasas proof).
I received my learner permit and there a huge red "TEMPORARY VISITOR STATUS EXPIRES x-x-04". Now that is totally ridiculous. My EAD experires that day, not my status. Since I am AOS due to a K-1 (fiance visa) and I have never been ilegal a single day of my life, I have the right to stay in USA while my AOS is pending. I even have to right to not renew my EAD (if I dont want to work) and that doesnt affect my status.
Does anyone know where it says that a fiance has the right to stay in the US while his/her AOS is pending? I read it someplace but I cant find it know. My hubby is hysterical and he wants me to have all my papers in the car in order to avoid any trouble with the police. I explained him that police can not deport you but he just want to avoid any bad attitude they may have if they think I am ilegal.
One more thing, I remember reading that here in NY there is a law in which police is not allowed to ask your immigrant status. So, if in your license there is this huge red banner that says when your status expires (or is supposely expires) isnt that a violation of that law.
Anyone with the same problem? Should I call DMV and explain them the difference so they fix my license or it is a new policy?
All comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
