Driver's licensing in Michigan for Immigrants?

Question

In January 2008, Michigan stated that people who were legally able to work and live here (ie migrant workers, students, etc) could no longer apply for a Michigan driver's licence. My question is that when I move here from Canada for family reunification, file the I-130 and 485 and get my EAD, am I able to apply for a driver's license since the conditions would be that I can NOT return to Canada until my green card comes in? (That can take up to 2 yrs apparently!)

I don't believe that is correct at all.  You should check it.. a telephone call would clear it up in moments.

Answer 2

... justice for all !

Answer 3

You should contact the Secretary of State office and inquire.  I really have no idea.

Answer 4

I read over a bit and it's unclear to say the least. I would suggest calling the Michigan DMV for verification because it doesn't seem right.

Answer 5

OMG - if that should happen to you.  Just drive over to Indiana and apply.  You are not that far from Indiana......

I'm sorry you are going through that!
