Old thread, but did any of you guys get your license renewed?
I just checked the NYS DMV site and it says
"The Temporary Visitor status will include the date your INS documents expire. However, your DMV document itself will not expire on the Temporary Visitor expiration date, nor will your permission to drive."
So I don't know... Link:
