Drivers licence

[KatharinaT 11]

Hello together. 

 

I came to the US with a CR-1 visa. My daughters and my greencards are about to expire on 01/30/23. 

 

We are about to get ready for the removal of conditions, since our 90 days are starting soon. 

 

I read that it can takes years for approval. 

 

Our driver licenses are about to expire on 01/30/23 also. 

 

I understand that I'll get an extension letter.

 

Am I able to get a new driver's license with this letter ? What about my daughter, is she getting also a extension letter (even she is only on my file ?) 

 

Thank you.

Hi @KatharinaT which state do you live in?

If California, you should be able to renew it.

@KatharinaT good question. You can try renewing once you receive the 24 months extension letter. That means DMV in theory should issue you a Driver License expiring 01/30/2025. Maybe somebody from Georgia can confirm?

We live in Alabama and had no issue renewing with the extension letter.

Did you get DL expiring on your Birthday in 5 years or until extension letter expiry?

At least in California they treated me as an LPR and issued 5 year DL on renewal instead of 2 year based on extension letter.

I am in Ohio, they only able to renew my DL up to 1 year (not 2 years per my extension letter)

You should be fine.  DMV can request a SAVE verification and verify your extension letter.  Just make sure you do it as soon as you get the extension letter so if they have to submit the SAVE verification, it clears before your license expires.  It's a royal pain to have no license for 2 weeks!

Yes, in Georgia the extension letter works just fine.  My husband used his I-751 extension letter to renew his driver's license in GA.  The new one has an expiration date that matches the 24-month extension date.

Yes! I did it in NC and FL

My husband is the LPR and the DL expiration date matches the expiration of the 24 month extension letter.
