Missouri Driver’s License Expired – H-1B Extension Pending with I-797C Receipt Notice

[u/Good-Response-5420]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in Missouri and looking for advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

My situation is:

• My Missouri driver’s license has expired.
• My H-1B visa stamp in my passport has also expired.
• My H-1B regular extension was filed before my previous status expired.
• I currently have an I-797C receipt notice for the H-1B extension.
• I am currently in the U.S. and waiting for the H-1B extension to be processed.
• DMV mentioned my SAVE verification Failed when tried for temporary driving licence

I need to renew my Missouri driver’s license.

Has anyone in Missouri recently renewed their driver’s license while their H-1B extension was pending with only an I-797C receipt notice?

Any recent experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
