Driving License Test for Renewal

[KDance 1]

I'm hoping this is the correct place to ask about this.

 

I've lived in CA since 2013 and got my full drivers license within the first week.  I have renewed my license as I've gone through the visa > Green Card by simply showing proof of residency.

 

I have an I-551 stamp while I wait to have the Green Card conditions removed.  I went to have my license extended today with the stamp and they told me I needed to take the drivers test.

 

She couldn't tell me why and no one else I know on a similar Visa/GC journey has had to do this.

 

Any ideas?

Did you let your license expire? Go back to the dmv and ask all your questions. They’re the only ones who can tell you why they’re asking you to do something.

My license expires in 10 days... I asked the lady at the desk but she had no idea just kept telling me I needed to retake with no explanation.

Go to a different office

That makes no sense. You shouldn't need to take a driver's test. You shouldn't need to take any test at this point. Haven't tried to renew online have you? I understand why it wouldn't be allowed given your circumstance, but can't hurt to try right?
