Hi Everybody,

I haven't received any feedback from USCIS about my H1B yet. So I decided to extend my OPT and hence received a new I-20 that said request for extension from 07/03//2008 - 12/03/2009 but the problem is the DMV is not ready to renew my DL based on a request for extension. They say they want something that says its approved. I asked my advisors as to how long it will take to get approved and they say it might take around 2 months!!! However, I am allowed to work while I wait for approval for 6 months. My DL expires on 07/02/2008. I have talked to the advisors and they are absolutely helpless and tell me to try a different DMV   but I highly doubt the result will be any different. They say since its a new law, the people at DMV are not aware of it and it is the system's fault. But here, I think, the real victim is me. Any valuable suggestions as to what should be done is greatly appriciated.
