This is what I found:
from those links:
the pending I485 should be enough satisfactory proof that the presence is authorized, no?The M.V.C. has taken the position that a person who has a valid license in their home country, may lawfully operate a motor vehicle in New Jersey under that license. However, there is a major limitation to this policy. The limitation is that the authority to drive under the foreign license in New Jersey is valid for a period of no more than one year.
Presumably, after one year, a person holding a foreign license would then have to apply for a New Jersey license. However, in order to do that, he or she must be able to provide, “satisfactory proof that the applicant’s presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.”Nov 2018 - Package sent - EB - Texas Service Center
