Hey ya’ll!

Not sure if this is the right forum but - my H1B extension has been approved (just got to know today) but my driving license will expire soon. Can my license be renewed without the original extension petition? Or do I need to wait for the originals to come in. Trying to understand what do I need to carry to the DMV. Based in CA. Couldn’t find a lot of info online, appreciate any help and advice!

And to throw into the mix, my lease is up so will be shifting to a new address soon.

We bought a property and the house next door fence post is on our property line. We’re planning on putting a fence on our vacant lot. What do we do about the fence post? Since no one owns the house? It was foreclosed on and I think a bank owns it now.
