In particular, you can generally get a (normal) driver's license in any state where you're a legal resident, regardless of citizenship. The REAL ID drivers' licenses are restricted to US citizens.

(I carry my green card when I fly, which is frequent enough these days that I have it in my wallet, which could come in handy if I'm ever stopped by ICE.)

    You can get a real ID drivers license with a work visa, but you need a valid visa stamp. If you only have a 797 you can't produce the 4th (or 3rd?) piece of evidence to get a Real ID so you are restricted to a regular driver's license
