starryvibes Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi, I just renewed and transferred my out of state DL to Texas at the Dacoma DMV in Houston yesterday. My DL exp on 8/24. My H1 extension is in process so I took the original receipt notice and a letter from my employer stating that the extension has been applied for XX date to YY date sicne the receipt notice does not indicate the dates. All other documents you need are listed on the TX website (like SSN, passport, car registration etc.) They issued a DL with a one year validity. Hope this helps. Link to comment

SUPERSTEEL4GC Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have just been to the Dacoma center for renewal and the lady said i will try but as she was putting my old I94 date wich is expired it did not go thru system and she denied the extension. Can anyone please help me thru the extension ? I am driving with expired DL now just scared of being pulled over. Link to comment
catx Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 You need to go to the Texas DPS office, preferably one of the new mega centers, with your expired driver license, passport, I-94 card, and I-797C form, and tell them that they need to file a SAVE system case request. This is a newer process and the person you are dealing with may not know about it. If they do this properly you will get a "Lawful Presence Verification Pending" letter from the Texas DPS in a few days that states the they could not verify your information online and need to send your documents (copies) to the USCIS for verification. This is normal. It will then take up to 20 days per the letter for the Texas DPS to get the verification back from the USCIS. After which, you will be able to get a driver license renewal for 8 months (240 day authorized stay period). I spoke to the Texas DPS today and they got our verification today (took 15 days), so my wife and I can go down to the office and renewal our driver licenses tomorrow. Then it will be waiting for our H visa extensions (5+ months so far) and our permanent residency (green cards), which the application is being filed this week. Link to comment
