Submitted App/ Driver's License Renewal

[MrsAmera 41]

Hi everyone. We submitted September 23rd my husband's I-751. We have discovered his driver's license in VA will expire the same day as his green card expires. Has anyone else dealt with this? Do you just need to prove that you are applying to remove conditions or will he be sans driver's license until his new GC is approved?

P.S. I'm also an idiot and forgot to sign the application myself so it was returned! Argh!

The NOA you should get will extend the expiration for 1 year.

Just to be clear, t won't automatically extend the expiration of the DL, just the GC.

Requirements vary by state. You should be able to bring the NOA along with the expired GC to get an extension of the DL.

From this thread it seems that in VA they will extend for 1 year. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=139440

I would make sure to renew before the current DL expires.

Thanks - we'll be going in as soon as the NOA comes to renew the DL!
