What are the steps to get Non-real ID after Real ID expires (while on valid H1B status but no valid visa)
My California Real ID is due for renewal in 3 months.
I know for sure I will have my new valid staus document (I797A) soon but will no longer have a valid visa to accompany that. Now, Real ID requires a valid status document (eg I797A) plus the valid H1B visa at CA DMV.
I don't want to go through the hassle of all that and planning to just downgrade to a Non real DL this time and later go back to Real-ID if I want later. What is the process to do that as CA DMV is not very clear on this on their website?
Also if I decide to get a real-id later, at CA DMV, do I have to take tests (knowledge + behind the wheel) again?
