I think it depends on the country and consulate where the passport is issued. My original passport that was issued in Hyderabad,India starts with A for 10 years and the renewed passport in New York starts with F issued for 10 years.

DMV in each state has different rule. If you have H1B approval notice, you will get license renewed upto the expiration date on the H1B approval notice.

Did USCIS sent back meidical forms along with RFE letter back to you in a sealed envelope that should be opened only by doctor? It should contain RED check marks where additional information is needed to be filled in by doctor.
