Drivers License Renewal in Georgia (GA) with pending L1 Extension case

[rohitspathak]

My visa & I-94 are expiring this Jan-2012 end. My Gerogia Drivers License is also expiring at the same time (Jan-2012 end).

I have already filed L1 Visa extension case with USCIS and got RFE , so case is in progress.

Has anyone renewed Drivers License in GA when I-94 has expired but L1 visa extension case is in progress. I know this is the most common scenario with Visa extension.

I have read on posts that in NJ,CA DMV considers the "I-797 (Notice of Action)" letter from USCIS and grants the renewal of Drivers License eventhough I-94 has expired.

I went to GA DMV at "8610 Roswell Rd, Suite 710 , Sandy Springs GA. 30350" but they said they need updated I-94. But when i talked in details they said they will check with their manager (and asked me to come after few days).

Any suggestion on how to get my Drivers license renewed in GA in this situation ?

Don't know about GA, but NJ will indeed accept a Notice of Action *if said notice is for approval of extension* - not for RFE or reception of the extension.

And as the Approval Notice will come with a new I-94 attached - the point about an expired I-94 becomes moot.

I went to 2 DMVs at Georgia but both denied. They said that they need new I-94 (with new date). They cannot work based out of I-797 (Notice of Action)...

Any suggestion on how to get this done....

Does New Jersy or NC DMV accepts I-797 (notice of action) letter ?
