Hello everyone,

I’m currently in FL on an F-1 visa that expires in June. I recently filed for adjustment of status (I-485) along with my EAD, and I have my biometrics appointment later this month.

I’m trying to figure out if I can get or renew a driver’s license while my case is pending.

From what I understand, my status will be “pending AOS,” but I don’t know if the FL DMV accepts that without an approved EAD.

Has anyone successfully gotten or renewed a license with: • Pending I-485 (AOS) • No EAD yet • Expiring or expired F-1

If yes, what documents did you use? Did they accept your I-797 receipt notices?

Also, did they issue a full-term license or a temporary one tied to your documents?

Thanks!
