I just renewed mine from using my EAD to my Green Card as proof of legal presence. Haven't received it yet but I will update with when my new license expires. The current one expires on the 29th - hopefully I get it soon but apparently it takes 60 days!

Same experience -- the DL expiration date was on his 40th birthday, which was 4 years after we moved back to the States with him on a CR1 visa. ROC was in 2009 but his DL expired two years after that.

So what I am reading here bluebird, CA does not care. It's not a mistake. I was on J2 at the time when I got it, and then I was switched to H4 (through my parents going from J1 to H1B) and then I had to switch to F1 (parents passed away before I turned 21) and shoved into foster care. Low and behold, no one ever asked me for my status ever since I got my first one on J2 at age 15. And now, I'm 24. So, I guess CA checks initially, but after that you basically fall off the planet and can get your DL renewed just like everyone for the next 5 years.:) By the time mine will expire again I'll be a long time US citizen. LOL Anyway, point is: seems like CA does an initial check at the first time, if things seem to show you are legal (no matter what ways) you get a 5 year one and after that you'll renew it whenever it expires without ever being checked again. Good for us, eh? :)

There was a post once in the AOS forum about people getting their license and IDs for years past the expiration date on their 2 year green card. I do not think this is a problem. My husband got his state ID using his 2 year green card and his ID is good until his birthday in 2020, and FL has been a Real ID state for years now.

I'm in California too, with a 2-year green card. My DL expires in 2017 (5 years). I don't think it's an error.

The K-1 Visa journey for myself and my two K-2 children:

K-1: NOA1 2011-8-10; NOA2 2012-1-12; Interview 2012-4-24; Visa issued 2012-9-17; POE (Sarnia) 2012-9-26; Wedding! 2012-10-02
AOS: NOA1 2012-11-20; Biometrics 2012-12-14; AP/EAD approved 2013-1-11; Interview 2013-1-31; 2-yr Green cards in hand 2013-2-9 (101 days total)

ROC: NOA1 11-7-14; Biometrics 12-1-14; 10-yr Green cards ordered 4-13-15! (157 days total)

Counting down to naturalization time!
