Answer 1

No you need the ssc and I'm sure the permanent resident card , too.You also have to do a driving and a written test

"New Residents Over 18

If you've moved to Ohio and wish to drive, you'll need to get an Ohio driver license right away. You'll need to be considered an Ohio "resident" first. What constitutes this? Someone who has taken a job, bought a home, registered to vote, signed a lease, or enrolled in school.

Your first step will be to pick up the Digest of Ohio Motor Laws handbook at a Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch, or just download it.

Then, study the material. Once you feel confident enough to pass a test on the material, go to a license examination agency. Bring along two documents to prove your identity and Social Security number. No appointment is necessary.

While there, you will be asked to pass a written test and a vision test. There is no charge for these tests. If you pass both tests, and if you have a valid out-of-state driver license, you usually will be able to skip the driving test and get your new Ohio license. However, the examiner may require a driving for someone who needs a license restriction.

The fees for your license will vary.

If you're new to the state, are considered a resident, don't have a license, and are over 18, follow the procedures in the "Long-Term Residents Over 18" section."

Als ich hier in Texas meinen Führerschein gemacht habe , musste ich auch die permanent resident card und die ssc  vorlegen .

Answer 2

Actually if you have an official letter stating that you are under immigration processing the Motor Vehicle in Ohio will usually give temporary licenses for a year. I knew someone under processing who's visa had expired and this is how he obtained his drivers license for a years time.
