I-20 and driver's license question

[blitzgs]

Hi there,
I am an international student at Rutgers University who expecting to graduate on May 2011.

I have question about expiration I-20 and driver's license.

My NJ driver's license expires on May 31st 2011 which is same expiration date with my I-20.
As I am planning to stay in US for 60 days (legally given grace period) after complete my
study, is there legal way to extend my NJ driver's license?

It is very hard to believe that they give us 60days to remain in the U.S. but not allowing us to drive during that period

Thank you very much for your help.

You can discuss this with the DMV office. I think they will issue you a new DL. Are not you applying for OPT EAD?

Thanks for your info Feel.
I currently have no plan to apply OPT for now...
I know that I can get extend my license with OPT EAD.
My international student advisor has no idea in my situation too.
may be I will just go to DMV...

Each state sets its own rules on this issue.
