Hello,
I received my EAD (work permit), and then I went to apply for SSN. I received my SSN within two weeks. I then went to apply for an ID (aka State ID) at a DMV office.
Two months passed and I didn't receive my ID. I went to the DMV office to ask about it, and was told that since I am not a permanent or citizen, it will take a minimum of 6 months to process.
I am wondering if there is an alternative to a DMV ID? I need some sort of ID so I can go open a bank account and work. I don't want to wait until around the end of 2004, I need to work now.
It's ridiculous how you get your SSN within 2 weeks, and identification isn't issued. I totally believe now that America tortures immigrants in any way possible. You get happy when you get your EAD, SSN, but then to have proper legal identification... BAM!
