I"m on my 7th year extension on the H1B visa. My extension was filed in June and I'm still awaiting the approval notice. Meanwhile, my driver's license expires in a couple weeks.
I went to the Lawrenceville DMV with my filing notice, passport and other documents. They said they need to see the approval notice.
I plan to visit the Trenton DMV tomorrow.

Any advice/suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

NJ D/L renewal based on USCIS receipt ??

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if NJ excepts renewal of D/L based on USCIS receipt?. If there is, which agencies is that?.

Appreciate very much any input.

Thanks
 
The DMV needs to see the official approval notice with the extended visa date. I went the premium processing route. Pay up $1000 and you're guaranteeed you're case will be processed in 2 weeks time. If you choose not to do that, you'll have to wait it out.

Good luck.
 
I am also in the same situation as you are. I contacted MVS in NJ and their reply was:

We need to see I797 with I94 original, application or any other correspondence is not accepted.

But,

generally the licence expiration date is 3 months after your visa expiration date. If it is not, then you can ask them for 3 month extension, which is generally granted. My wife got it for H4
