If you have a similar experience as the following, please share your information with me.

I am working in U.S. with I-797 (H1B approval notice), but I don’t have H1B Visa on my passport since I haven’t visited Korea recently.

I moved to Maryland from other state in this month, and visited Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) to apply for my driver lincense.

I heard from a staff in there that only I-797 (H1B approval notice) is not acceptable as a substitute of H1B Visa for my driver license application. Is that true?

If so, I will need to visit Korea to obtain H1B Visa so that I will be able to get my driver license.

Is there anyway to resolve this issue?

Thank you so much in advance.

운전 면허증을 허가하기 위해서는 합법체류 신분이 증명되어야 합니다.그러므로 h1b비자가 승인이난 I-797(approval notice )와 신분을 확인할 여권을 제시해야합니다.
