Hi!!

I have a question about Driver License.

So, I've worked in US, 05/2015 until 02/2016, during that time i got my Driver license.

I am going to US with a K1 visa next 29th, and i would like to know if I can renew my DL when I arrive. If I can, would the DL just be valid for the length of my i-94 (3 months) than I have to renew again when i get my green card?

Thank you!!

Many people have different opinions on this matter because many DMVs/states are different. 

From my experience, you would be able to renew your license for the 90 days the I-94 is valid. After that you will be unable to renew it again until you aqcuire your work/travel document (about 3 months). Your license will only be valid for the period the document is valid for, which is one year. Once you get your two year conditional green card you can renew it for the validity of the conditional green card. After removing conditions, you can renew it for the amount of time the green card is valid for or the maximum amount of time a license in your state will be valid for, whichever is sooner. 

Some people have been able to get their license renewed for one year with just the NOA1 stating the AOS is processing, so you wouldn't have to wait the time between the I-94 expiring and receiving the EAD, but not everyone. You would have to go to the DMV and try, their website may tell you. 

Hope this helped a bit!
