Hi all! I am a F1 student who graduated recently and am awaiting EAD card approval for OPT. My driver's licence is expiring soon and the EAD card is nowhere in sight yet. I went to the local dmv but they refused to renew my licence and forwarded it to the state office for further evaluation... Now i'm awaiting their decision but am freaking out..what if they decide not to renew it till i get my ead approved? My I-20 clearly states the date of EAD application and the supposed date it should be valid till but then it also exclusively says that it's awaiting approval. The school wrote a letter stating that i;m a student there and blah blah and that my opt is awaiting approval. they're naive regarding such problem and ofcourse don't have much to offer for help.
I'm sure at least one of you in here must've run into such situation. Can you please share how u solved it? I can't afford to lose my driving privilege. I've travel plans before I start working...
i tried googling, didn't work.

HELP!
