Florida DL Fail!

Here is the story. Spent the morning waiting for the letter of denial from SSA office. Some guys had mentioned that all they needed was the I-797C (approval) with the letter denial from the SSA office and they got their license. Well I get to the DMV and the guy helping me in starts flipping through a bulletin the state just sent out. As of 10/1/12 you must have your I-766 or EAD in order to get your license. I have not received my EAD, but I should get it today or tomorrow. Just thought I would let some people know so they do not waste their time.

what i dont get is...

how did you even get letter of DENIAL from SSA when your application is in PROCESS?

I went to SSA in NY and they said they can't give me a letter because my SSN is not being denied.

I have my learning permit already btw.. through Social security card that I received last week

I live in Florida.
There was no way to get a license with an i797c....with or without any letters...I know because i know people who tried and were told at the DMV they couldn't. Im talking as far back as 2009 or so...

Denial letter from SSA? Where did you get that?

I got it from the SSA office. Just told them that I needed the letter to get my license. They basically treat you as a visitor and give you a letter where it states your are not eligible for a SSN. I had my I-797C approval notice. Not just the ones we receive when our paperwork has been received. That is a form that they will accept. I know this because I checked the website and it was noted on the guys paperwork.

Hmm, thanks for the info believethedream

denial, acceptance, denial but if u send your denial letter while you get accepted then you get the denial letter the dmv accepts it but denial but acceptance then approved then before you know it bam! herpes!.....i'm confused.

same here!

Sounds like you are misleading SSA, if you present a EAD you're eligible for a SSN....
The end.

If you are approved for DACA and have an EAD on the way, how are you telling SSA that you need a letter of denial?

You trying to commit fraud to get your DL quicker?
