Drivers License expiring before ROC - what to do?!

[BULLWINKLE 3]

Hey y'all - I am a September 2012 ROC filer and I noticed in the Sept Filers thread, there was discussion about drivers license expiring before ROC is processed.

Here in TX, I was issued a Temporary "Visitor" Drivers License. When I first received it 2+ years ago, they said I wont be issued a permanent license until I have citizenship.

Well, on my license I have an expiration date of 12/7/2017 but my "Temporary Visitor Status expiration" on my license is 12/7/2012 (same date as my GC expiration).

Can I use my NOA to renew my license? Do I even need to renew my license since there is also an expiration date of 12/7/2017? Do I need to wait until 12/7/12 or thereafter to renew my license?

I'm not sure what to do

Yes you should be fine to renew your license with the NOA. If they tell you know you can't, you have to ask to talk to a supervisor. Explain to them that the letter says that extends the green card, so you can work and travel. They should be able to do that. I have a question are people in texas racist or no? I always thought of that but never met somebody from texas lol.

That's crazy. My husband is from Holland and we live in Tx. The first year we were here, right after he got his green card, he got a regular driver's license. Looks exactly like mine. Not temporary, We JUST filed for his ROC this month. But he has had his driver's license for a couple yrs now. So, no idea what you are being told.

Silk- is that a serious question? Wow! Way to generalize and stereotype ... Yes, you are correct.. All Texans are racists. Segregation is still in place. There are no civil liberties. Being of visible ethnic descent myself, I experience racism everyday, but the irony is, now that I live in TX I am a full blown racist myself.. Pretty sure my husband married me so that I could be an indentured slave.

Wyld- not sure why I was given a Temp DL.. No difference to me so long as I can operate a vehicle
