I'm sure what Caem did works fine. We received a notice from DMV stating that her license is expected to expire thus asking for proof of her legal status. Replied back with a copy of her extension letter and our new address. Received it within 2 months with a new exp date 2019.

I applied for a DL in February with my extension letter and never received the DL in the mail. I have to go back every 3 months to get a new temporary one, my DL is stuck on some kind of pending legal presence check, already called them multiple times, nothing I can do :( Hopefully your DL will go more smoothly.

Thanks a lot for your replies. I have went in for appointment at the Santa Ana DMV today with my green card and extension NOA and they provided me with an interim DL. They said I should receive the new DL card in the mail within a month.

At first, the lady that helped me said she wasn't sure if she can accept the NOA as extension but she checked with her manager and it all worked out. She also asked me for the stamp in my passport but I informed her USCIS doesn't give you the stamp while you have the extension NOA.

By the way, there was no charge for me to renew the DL. Is that always the case?
