Hi! I am posting this on behalf of a friend. He is currently on H-1 and is moving to another state to start a new job. His H-1 has been filed for the new position thru regular processing. Does he have to wait for the approval (2-3 months) and take the I-797 to go to DMV and apply for his DL? Or will DMV accept the recipt number for the petition. Does that mean that getting the car registered in the new state will also have to wait till he gets that state's DL?
