best Cali Bay Area DMV for h1b/visa?

Just trying to get some opinions. I am due for a renewal and had to go to the SF DMV multiple times without getting a clear answer on why they cannot renew my license dispute having my renewed i797a It was suggested (by DMV rep over phone) that I may have a more knowledgeable technician if I go to one of the other locations who handle visa/h1b applicants more regularly. So I ask: which of the Bay Area location should I go to maximize my chances. #workvisa #h1b

DMVs have the dumbest employees.

I go to the SF DMV all the time. What exactly did they say?

The problem is inconsistent/lack of knowledge First worker : did my extension, telling me everything is fine. I get the license in the mail. It’s has my old expiration date I got back to the dmv, another worker : “yeah the first person messed up”, and actually pulled the first worker over to call them out. And then tells me I have to renew my license the day after it expires so it can use my new i797a dates. But that date is a Saturday. Lol

Yeah you cannot extend until your new i797 kicks in. Didn’t check the temporary license form for the expiry date?

1. H1b i797a is 2.5-3 year time periods. So it’s about every other year to renew a license for me 2. If you are on a visa - you are only extended until your legal presence expires
