A H-1B extension application receipt notice is not listed on Virginia DMV's list. Thanks for the response! This is the document the DMV people use and I have also seen it first hand. I also linked this document [https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/sites/default/files/documents/accept_doc_status.pdf] in my post. It's much more detail and clarifies a lot of things - like I797 approval or receipt notice. It's straight from the DMV website (https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/licenses-ids/id-cards/legal-presence). You'll see in there that it mentions I-129 (H-1B) receipt as one of the acceptable documents. That's how I renewed my license the last time around and they extended it for a year, but as of now the H-1B extension is still pending, and I don't know if I could use the same document for renewal again. I read somewhere that it has to be a new petition. That's correct, I was just saying that my I-140 is already filed through my employer and I might be able to file a H-1B extension based on the I-140 approval. Thank you for this info. Are you talking from personal experience that the I-765s are taking a long time? I do agree that I could just use the I-485 receipt as a proof to renew.

Hi all, To give you all a background, I most recently renewed my Virginia's DL based on the I-797 receipt of my H-1B extension application. The petition for 1 year extension which was filed last year, is still pending. My I-140 is also pending, but looks like I can't use the receipt for renewal? What are my options other than waiting for I-140 to get approved and use the receipt from filing H-1B extension? I will be getting married to a US citizen soon, and will be filing for GC. Would the receipt of that application (AOS) be enough to get a renewal? I will be filing AOS as a bundle which also includes I-765. Based on the documents listed here https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/sites/default/files/documents/accept_doc_status.pdf, it seems like that'd be enough along with a I-485 receipt notice? Did I understand that correctly? Can anyone with similar experience offer their thoughts?
