Another driving license question
OK, so my I got my license when I was on an L1 visa and it expires 3 months after that status was due to expire. I now have a conditional permanent resident card and this card expires about 20 days after my driving license expires.
Now, does anyone know if they will only extend my license based on the date of my conditional residency or not? If so I suspect I would be better off waiting until I get the extension letter when I apply to remove conditions. Any thoughts? |
Re: Another driving license question
I could be mistaken, but I would think that the DMV (or whatever else they may call it in Joisey) couldn't care less about your visa status.
I would just renew your license based upon its expiration date so that you can avoid any requirements to retest, etc. that might be associated with missing the deadline. |

Just go to DMV, show em your Green card or Temp anyway and get a licince mate.

In CO you would get your license up to the date of your authorised presence.

Would be surprised if you received a DL without an expiration that conincides with your expiring green card. NJ, as NY, will only issue DL's for the length of time your status valid. |
Re: Another driving license question
I have remewed my licence a few times due to passing various grades of CDL requirements ........... no one has ever looked at my green card and the present expiration is way past my green card date.

I agree with Rete...license's in NJ are not issued past the expiry date of your GC/visa. Edit: Here's the website...it does look as if you need to provide proof of your status in the US. http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/pdf/Licen...posterpint.pdf |
Re: Another driving license question
The only proof of residency I had when I renewed my NJ licence a couple of months back was my EAD, I was AOS and my visa had expired. My date of renewal for the new licence was 3 months after my EAD expired. I assume you would be issued a new licence with a renewal date of three months after your temp green card expires.
I have since received my green card and need to go back to DMV and get temp immigr status removed. |

Thanks, it sounds like it's not worth me renewing yet. If I renew now then it will only extend my current license by about 4 months, but in theory I should get an extension letter based on the filing for removal of conditions by the time my current license expires which would then make my new license valid for over a year.

Make sure you take the necessary documents stated in my link above...you must have the relevant number of 'points' or they will not issue a license.

Yeah, I was looking at that and wondered where a one year extension letter fits in as it clearly indicates the I-551 stamp or card but nothing else. I guess if they don't acccept the extension then I would have no choice but to try and get the stamp. I would think there must be some provision.

That is because you have a permanent green card and also most likely a social security card without the legend on it. That little legend can play hell with your life. |
