Immigration Development for New Jersey Drivers with H-1Bs

Those with H-1b status might be interested in knowing that the New Jersey Motor Vehicles Commission recently issued new guidance for individuals seeking to extend their driver licenses after having filed for an extension. If an extension for H-1b status is timely filed, an individual is authorized to work up to 240 days while the extension is pending. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission now recognizes this and has implemented instructions that allow H-1B holders under extension to present a specific certificate.
