when is your I 94 expiring?
DMV can give a maximum of another 3 months over your I -94 expiring date..then you need to wait until u receive your approved I94 to get DL renewl..
I went to all Edison,Eaton town ,Trinton DMVs for DL renewl and could not get it as I already got 3 months over my I94 date last year.
THEY WONT RENEW BASED ON RECEIPT NOTICE
I updated my regular 7th year extension Premium processing and got with in 10 days.,
I was without driving previlages for 10days and used Cabs etc.,

I advise you to go on premium process ..
 
these INS people work in mysterious ways...looks like they heard my complain and I GOT APPROVAL NOTICE THE NEXT DAY !!! :cool: :p :confused:

Guess no need to worry about my DL for a year at least :)

FYI,,

NJ DMV is giving extension for 240 days based on original filing receipt. I got it renewd on 1st feb. 2007.
 
Hi rmzm,

can you please tell me which DMV location you went to. My DL is expiring on 3/31/07 and it will be 3 months after my I-94 expired.

thanks

Eatontown. see my other post detailing my experience.
 
thanks to rmzm. I got my DL renewed (eatontown) after showing the original H1B receipt notice.It saved my $1000 if I had gone for premium processing or else do car pooling. looks like only the main supervisor there (Patty) is aware of this but she was also confused as they look at the form# of the receipt notice. they had a sample of it (I-797C) and they were matching word by word against mine. For some reason USCIS gave me I797 and not I797C but finally I got it.
Hope this helps for other people who need to renew DL while their H1B approval is pending.
 
I had a similar case where my license was expiring and MVCs simply denied to extend the license. I got the original receipt for extension and went to REGIONAL SERVICE SITE (Like Wayne 23 N or Trenton), only they renewed it. Rest of the MVCs (even supervisors ) did not know the rules or simply haven't read their memos reg this. Request all of you who have impacted by this to log complains against the MVCs that your have visitied by going to http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/About/ContactEmail.htm
 
My Driver's License was renewed with an EAD card

My H-1B is pending and my I-94 already expired. Looking at this thread, I went to NJ MVC Trenton Regional Service Site with a cerified copy of my pending H-1B (since my company's attorney did not give the original at first), and I was told that I need the original copy of my pending H-1B receipt notice. But when I went there with the original copy, I was asked if I have an EAD card for me, instead of the H-1B receipt notice. And then I gave my EAD card based on my pending I-485, and my drivers license was renewed.

The interesting thing is I had just 5 points (I have my passport but do not have a valid I-94 with it) according to what the NJ MVC site says, and it should not be qualified to renew my drivers license, but actually, it was done. I thought my original I-485 receipt notice may be required, but it was not at that time.

Anyway, it is a good news for people who have a pending H-1B or I-485.
