Ok so I just got off the phone with DMV in Chicago and they told me that you can drive on your foreign license for 90 days.

Such things are determined by states, not cities.

In IL it is the Secretary of State's office that regulates driving requirements. Most states allow foreign licenses to be used for limited periods, for example UP TO 90 days. Be advised that claiming residency can limit this time period. Depends on state law.

as suggested, "google" is your friend Google the IL SoS office and READ the law. DO NOT depend on what a clerk answering the phone tells you.

In Vermont, for example, a NON-resident may use a foreign drivers license (foreign country or another state).for UP TO 60 days But once they claim Vermont residency they MUST have a Vermont driver's license. Filing an I-485 is a claim to residency in Vermont and is ALSO sufficient to qualify for a Vermont drivers license. Alla had her Vermont drivers license before she had her Green card. She used her NOA1 from the I-485 as proof of residency and proof of allowable presence exceeding 180 days. That is the requirement in this state.

So, in this state, while it says you can use a foreign license for up to 60 days, that 60 days is curtailed if you file an I-485 lisitng a Vermont address as your residence.

Read carefully and interpret literally.
