Hey guys, I have a simple question. I had a california drivers license which is expired now due to the expiration of I-94.

Now I am just waiting for my EAD for the past 7 months so I can get a drivers license so my question is will I get a

permanent license like a U.S resident, valid for 4-5 years or it will be still a temp license like I had before? Thank you.

Each state is a bit different, but your new drivers' license will probably be valid only for as long as your EAD is valid.

Can anyone confirm the above comment regarding the California DL? Will your California DL expire when the EAD expires? If so, can the expiration be extended after you receive your green card?

i started a thread about ca friving licence once and i found a quote about iton the offical website someone gave me, but not sure how to find it. but it was along the lines of you can only have a temp licence if you have more than 60 days on your document of recidence left and to get a full licence it must be more than 90 days. how long are eads good for? :unsure:

Can anyone confirm the above comment regarding the California DL? Will your California DL expire when the EAD expires? If so, can the expiration be extended after you receive your green card?

My Wifes DL will expire after 1 year, but she recieved her GC already so I imagine that it can just be renewed. It may onlt be renewed for another yr after as her GC is a 2 yr right now. After the Lifting of conditions, I think it should go to a 5 yr license.

So your wife got a DL based on work permit valid for a year?
