I think the 6-month visa validity requirement for H4 in Illinois is outrageous.
In our case, my employer is a global consultant agency, and the visas get extended only per client project which changes every months. This makes a normal life in the U. They should change this regulation as soon as possible.

Neil, ITIN is not required for driver license. Thanks for an early reply.
But is it sill possible for her to apply for ITIN even before i file for my taxes? I am asking such a questions because i read in a lot of portals that ITIN needs to be filed at the time of filing of my taxes only…!!! By any chance, do you know the process in Wisconsin? Here the not very helpful guy at DMV gave me a list of documents of which proof of legal presence, and proof of address were not an issue, but I have no doc listed under proof of id.
I really appreciate if you can share any info on this! Although it is not mentioned in the list of documents, they should still be willing to accept that. Did you talk to them about this? Saurabh, Thanks for your immediate response. My husband went again to the DMV today and thankfully there was a different person who took time to enquire. Like you said, my passport indeed served as the proof of id.
In addition to this, our auto insurance cards which had my name bailed me out. Now I am all set to take on the test. Thanks again for your reply! Glad you found an employee who was better informed than the first one.
