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.

You will need an updated visa stamp, i797 and i94 to renew your driver’s license.

Actually not sure about the visa stamp but they did ask for my passport. Sure about the other two pieces.

I think the copy should work.

Passport, approval, i94. But here is the thing though, most states gave an allowance of extra days after expiry because of the pandemic. A lot of the DMV offices have been shuttered for some time. In my state, they said you can drive on expired license for up to 60 days after they fully reopen.

Your lawyer will provide you a letter based on the approval you got. Take that letter to dmv. You will be fine.

Recently renewed my driver license (a week ago). DMV asked for my passport and I-797 form. They only asked for a copy of my I-797 form but better bring the original one. Due to COVID-19, driver license expired date should be extended for 4 months.

Atleast in GA you can get temporary 90 or was it 120 day not sure, one time DL extension based on extension receipt document.

Copy of i797 will works. Again it depends on state of DMV.

Awesome.. Thank you everyone! Let’s see how it turns out.
