Hi,
I wish to apply for a fresh Illinois Driver's License. But my H1B Visa is about to expire and I have already applied for an extension and have the Extension Receipt (I797-C). When I went to the DMV they asked me to apply when my H1B extension is approved. Please let me know if there is any way to get past this.
Also in the Illinois DMV site it is given as below:

Does this mean that I can drive using my valid Indian Driving License. Also please define for me who is a permanent resident of Illinois.
Thanks

Code:
I will be working in/moving to Illinois. How do I obtain a driver's license?
Drivers moving to Illinois may use their valid driver's license from their home state or country for 90 days. You may obtain an Illinois driver's license or identification card only if you are becoming a legal resident of Illinois. If you have a valid driver's license from another state or country, you may use it to drive in Illinois throughout your stay (if you do not plan to become a permanent resident of this state).Source: cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/drivers/drivers_license/dlfaq.html
