You still have your passport so you're not without I.D. - what they told you at the DMV may very well be correct (it can depend on the State).

What is the State you're living in?

Theres not really much you can do, most places DMV's are like that. You might be able to get the renewal with your EAD, I know you can in CA, but other than that theres nothing really that can be done until your GC is approved, that includes your driving test. You should be able to use your passport for ID for credit cards if they ask for it, and most places just glance at your ID, don't use the expiration or anything so you should be good there too.

I still don't have my California licence, and I don't have any ID with my new married name on it. I've just been carrying a copy of my marriage licence with me to prove my new name and no one has had a problem with it.
