Hello everyone,
For the few previous years I was on Deferred Action I was able to renew the DL with the Employment Authorization Card only (EAD Card)
I received my renewed EAD card last Friday and ran straight to DMV to renew the DL, since it expired last August.
Surprisingly, DMV did not accept the EAD card anymore, instead they took my I-797C receipt notice for pending I-485 as proof of legal stay in US. The driver's license is valid for exactly a year from the date I was issued
Please be advised that I renewed the licence in Commonwealth of Virginia, where requirements are known to be pretty tough, so the regulations in your state may differ
Note: If it didnt work at one local DMV, I recommend you try the next one, as clerks may not have deep knowledge when it comes to immigration forms
