I am not sure, but it should be 1 year. I just got the temp DL which lasts for 3 months

Hey that's great, congrats!! I may have missed this, but when was it set to expire? We can still mail in the renewal, I'm just curious as to what date they'll extend it to. Were you eligible to renew by mail and chose to go in with the docs just to make sure? Thanks!

Hello, I am having interview tomorrow and getting very nervous now! 

 

I have an joint account with my husband , but I am using the account, not my husband, I hope it is not a problem.

 

Anyone can tell me, questions they ask you during the interview? 

 

Thanks !

The DL will expired in 3 weeks. I have choice to renew the real ID DL by mail, but I was not sure i could renew with my supporting documents, so I went there in person.

 

I am curious which date they extend to as well, but since no documents mention any deadline, I assume the extension should be 1 year

Ok, so similar situation then with the upcoming expiration. I'm really surprised they didn't give you a temporary DL or some document that states the new date, but yeah a year would be great of course.

Hi guys, I received an alert via SMS and email on July 13, 2019 that my I-485 application status had changed to "Interview Was Scheduled".

Well, we spent about an hour at the DMV yesterday. Got there a little after 7am (did you know some locations are now open at 7am?!). We filled out the app, and went up to renew our license. The clerk took my wife's paperwork and went to a back room. She came back shortly and told us that unfortunately we could NOT renew because the EAD had not yet expired. We have to come back the DAY AFTER it expires (which also happens to be the day before the interview date) in order to renew it, and she'd only renew it for 60 days at that time. We'd have to then come back EVERY 60 days to renew it again. Bummer for us...

Wow... that is weird... I got the temporary DL for 60 days, but I think the actual card will have longer time than that. I went to DMV in Hayward, which is open on Saturday too. You can take a shot if you want. Good luck

Update: I just successful renew the Driver License with almost expired EAD and receipt for renewal EAD. Here is supporting documents:

 

1. Identity Document: (must be original, keep it in mind) expired/valid EAD and i797C for renewal i765

2. Social Security Document: (should be original as well) W2 form (can use Social Security card instead)

3. California Residency: (copies accepted) bank statement, phone bill and car title (just need two separate documents, USICS receipts cannot be accepted)

 

Good luck guys !!! 

 

Thanks so much for the update @QN&CD

No! Was actually 6 months before, but that system is not that great. Even at my interview I ask the officer if she can verify my new address and she saw the wrong one in the system. After that the only thing that came to my right address was my greencard. The rest of approvals from petitions they where forwarded from my old address even after the officer change in her system.

Yeah, this was El Cerrito. Were' really only a few weeks away, so we'll just deal with it then...I hope you're right about the card not expiring for a while!! I'll keep Hayward in mind next time we need to try!

Update: this morning my status changed to "Case is ready to be scheduled for an Interview". I assume my location is San Francisco.

 

Please share your experience if you can:

1. When  should I expect the status to change to "Interview Scheduled" ?

2. After changing to "Interview Scheduled", when should I expect the interview date might be ?

 

I need to plan some international travels so it would be great if I have more information. Thanks guys
