category C-09 is under Adjustment of Status not vawa. Try a different DMV

I was turned away in queens, had to wait till I had the green card.

I was turned away 3 times until my immigration lawyer emailed the main DMV office in Albany. After my lawyer’s email, the same DMV which turned me away before contacted me by phone, scheduled an appointment and on an appointment day, they were extremely nice and processed everything fast. So C09 EAD holders are eligible for Real ID but a lot of DMV offices’ employees don’t know and turn people away. Good luck to everyone. Hope it helps

@Me singh @John Lori I was able to apply for my real ID at DMV coney Island today. All glory to God because I was rejected so many times. I used my I-485 receipt notice (form I-797c), EAD C09, Social Security, Bank Statement and Driver’s license. make sure all documents including I-485 are original. After applying, you will receive your real ID in 2 weeks in the mail.
