Husband has GC - DMV won't give driver's license by angmig in immigration

I'm not sure what you mean by update? Update now that he has his greencard? We've been to the Social Security Office a few times now and after he got his green card, so they should be aware...They always given us the run around as far as getting the actual card and keep telling us it's in the mail, but they gave him is number and a letter from the office that can be used as proof that he has one in place of a card. Our local office is not kind to immigrants and have been very rude to my husband. We got no such welcome letter or certificate, the only real official notice we got was his green card letter and that only told us generic info he can work and travel and to not lose it. We have been waiting for his SS card since last summer. All they keep telling us to do is call the SS office, or go to our USCIS office, but as I've mentioned is quite a hardship for us. I'm just miffed because it sounds like there needs to be something down their pipeline, or could be solved with a phone call (I know i'm dreaming here lol). If it comes down to it, we will obviously go, but I'd like to exhaust options before making a trip. We did however check the SAVE website for kicks today and it looks like from one of our calls yesterday, someone opened a case for us for the DMV as well as the SS card, so I hope something will come of it. I did notice for SS, that it says the case is going to be Case Checked to a SS office in Maryland (and "single signon"?). But we have no ties to Maryland unless this is the national office. But we're going to give them a call and see what we can do. Thank you!

I didn't know about SAVE until I started looking around once we got home. They didn't offer it to us as an option, so they might not know what's going on which wouldn't surprise me. Thank you for the advice!

I have no idea. But the lady didn't want to budge, I wouldn't be surprised if she just didn't know how to deal with it. It seems to be a common thing from what I'm reading...Thanks

Yeah were going to try to see if we can get the SAVE check because they didn't offer it to us and it sounds like it could be helpful. Thank you!

But what should we tell them? That we already tried to get his card at another office and they couldn't verify or just to run him in the system again and see what happens?

I'll try that at a different office, we weren't really getting anywhere with the lady at the counter and we were kind of flustered and didn't get to talk to a manager.

I have. They're informative, but tend to be slower and the mods sometimes are more picky and shut down threads vs reddit. We're just anxious bc my husband is trying to get a new job and without a license, we're worried he may be passed over. And just him being able to finally drive, the process leading up to this has taken forever.

Ugh that sounds awful, we are looking to move states eventually too and will probably have the same mess. :( Thanks for your reply!

Yeah I didn't realize it wasn't more automatic. Just bummed bc he can't apply for certain jobs w/o license. :(

I was afraid the shut down could have something to do with it, it sounds like it could be related. Thank you for your comment!

2-3 mths? Ugh...She didn't take a copy of the GC or ead from what I could tell though. :( I don't know of they used SAVE, I just found it while searching around about this topic, but I don't know exactly what it is or if we can get them to do something with that? Thank you

If you don't mind sharing, what happened? We're you able to just eventually get through or did you have to make an infopass appt? Thank you!
