My visa was expired on Oct 30 and I94 as well.
I was just having I797C application receipt copy with me.
What kind experience I got? What you may need to do ?
I have visited DPS before 15 days of my I94 expiry but no use, DPS officer was not able to submit SAVE request and reissue me DL valid till Oct 30. Waste of money :(
Nov 3: I have visited DPS office again & this time they submitted SAVE request in their system and asked me come back with letter which you will receive from DPS Austin.
It will take at least 1 week to deliver it at your mailing address.
Nov 10: I did received letter from DPS , unfortunately with "Lawful Presence Verification Pending"
Means my 2nd level verification was failed and DPS submitted 3rd level verification to USCIS, which take 20 working days to get response.
Nov 24: I did received one more letter from DPS , mentioned with "Lawful Presence Verified"
I have visited DPS along with expired license and this letter. DPS officer issued me license.
By this time by I94 extension was approved by USCIS and I got license validity till by new I94, Instead of temporary 8 months validity.
Suggestion for you:
1 Visit DPS once your I94 expired so that DPS officer can able to submit SAVE request in system
2 It will take max 1 week to get response from DPS for your SAVE request.
3 You may get letter with verification approved or pending
If you get letter with verification approved then you are good to go to DPS and renew license for 8 month.
If you got letter with verification pending then, you don't have to do anything, DPS will submit 3rd level verification request to USICS and which can take max 20 working days.
4 if your are not getting any response from USICS then you can visit nearest USICS office by booking appointment through INFOPASS.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI received lawful presence verified and the letter said license till November last..which means 2 months from I94 expiry. Yesterday extension got approved. Yet to receive papers. Kind of worried if there is any problem. H1 valid for 4 more years.
Hi Anitha,
ReplyDeleteIf your extension is already approved then Don't worry, when you go for license renewal you will get license expiry date same as your I94 for validity.
Don't forget to carry your Application I797 copy and lawful presence verified letter.
All the best.

DeleteI got the pending status from dhs and my 3rd level verification was iniated to uscis. How long it takes to get response for 3rd level verification? I know it says 20 business days but does it really take this long?
ReplyDeleteIn my case I got my approved petition before I get any response from 3rd level verification request. So I got my DL.
DeleteAlso I didn't received any letter as response to my 3rd level verification so really don't know how much time it takes.
Could you please share with us time it took for you for 3rd Level verification.
I am also in same Boat as My License will expire in July 10 so Went to DPS Office for Renew License. They said we are sending Second Level Verification to DHS so waiting for Reply.
DeleteHi Vipul, I am in the same boat as you. I got pending status and they did 3rd level verification. It has been a week since 3rd level verification started. May I know if you got 3rd level verification done successfully and how many days it took for you to get it verified for the 3rd level verification
