Generally, DLs that are valid for the duration of Visas are not renewable my mail. You must go in person to the DMV with new documentation proving legal presence (new Visas) and your DL will be renewed for the validity period of your new documentation.

Typically, people with DLs that are renewable by mail are sent forms/reminders in the mail before the expiration date of their existing DLs.

At least this has been my experience in CA.

U mean if i have valid approval petition then , they will renew it? please let me know.

If I am not mistaken (it's been quite a few years for me!), an approved petition will have a new, extended I-94 on it. It used to be in the lower right hand corner of the approval notice. The lower left hand corner is your receipt/copy of the I-94. Thus, it is a valid I-94 for the purposes of demonstrating legal presence to the DMV.
 
Driver Licence

Even if you don't have legal status in USA you can get one year driving certificate but only to driver your car not to fly or use in any federal Govt. building. Those are Oregoav and Utah but you have to prove your residence living there at present.
There are few states you can get DL with tax ID those are MI, WI, Main, NM, NH and WA. I hope this can help you. You also can goggle search for REAL ID ACT to find out how tough it is to get DL specially after 2008.
