I was not able to find much information especially for North Carolina state on this subject when I needed it before heading to DMV previously but good news that I had my driver's license renewed today based on only I-797 receipt notice. So, I wanted to put it here for anyone who seeks this information in future...

 

Here's a summary of my case;

 

  • Arrived US on L1 visa
  • Visa expired 3 months ago
  • My REAL ID driver's license (North Caroline) also expired the same day the visa expired)
  • No EAD or any other visa on hand for 3 months
  • Applied for I-485 (EB3 GC) and I-765 (EAD)
  • Received I-797 C receipt notices for both I-485 and I-765 applications a few days ago
  • DMV in Charlotte area accepted my I-797 C receipt notices (they asked for I-94 as well which was already expired along with L1 visa)
  • Renewed / extended for 6 months starting from the notice date of I-797 receipt notification (Not the date my visa expired)
  • DMV used "Notice date" on the I-797C instead of the "Received Date" to renew/extend for 6 months which is super nice
  • Not sure if I will be receiving a REALID or regular driver's licence but I couldn't care less about receiving it either way..

 

I hope this sheds some light for those who wonders about this matter. As I mentioned, I was not able to find this information on internet including DMV website of North Carolina.
