Updating your Driver’s License after receiving the NOA

[USA-Jamaica 0]

Good Evening

We received the I-797 extension letter (NOA1). My spouse DL expires Oct 26, 2009; can we go now DMV to get the DL extended. My hubby travels out the state about 80% of the time with job so I would like this get done sooner than later. Also does the I-797 extension letter (NOA1) extend a year from the date on the NOA letter or a year from the expiration date on the GC. FYI I live in Atlanta, GA so it would be wonderful if there is a VJ from GA that could share his/her experience with GA DMV.

Thanks so much for you help!!

That's a good question - I'd like to think it (the extension letter/notice) does show proof of status.

Do you (in Ga) have to go in to renew the license? (Some states allow you to do so via the internet...just curious)

In GA you can renew online if you are a USC but residents must go into the office for all changes.

Yes I did mine yesterday at the Marietta, GA office.

They just need to see your NOA, green card, and current license.

My license was due at the end of August.... but I think you can renew 90 days in advance.

It costs $20... you just fill in one form and it's very simple.... I'm now good to go for another year !!

Most states let you to renew DL I-797 and the expired GC.

I-797 extend a year from the expiration date on GC.

All of the previous posts are old, so I will reply to your, yes, you can get your driver license in GA and the expire date will be same date as your GC/extension letter.

Yes, I live in GA, too. You will have to go to your nearest Department of Driver Services (DDS) center to get it. You can find more information here Georgia dds . Once approved you will be issued a temporary paper license then the license will be mailed to your home within 2-3 weeks. Please also read about the requirements if you are a new resident to GA, they will want you also to go with proof of address e.g a utility bill which has your name on it. Better to be prepared with all the documents and also take your expired conditional Green card with you.
