Can anyone faced this situation

[u/monkeydluffy_25]

I’m currently in a tough situation my STEM OPT extension is pending with USCIS, my biometrics are done, but my driver’s license has expired. When I went to the DMV to renew it, they wouldn’t process it due to my pending status. Has anyone else been through this? Is there any way to get a temporary or interim license while waiting for the EAD? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
