so, can I get a Florida driver license, before receiving my green card? I have a k1 visa and already applied for AOS.

Did you apply for EAD? If yes, do you have it?

You need to ask to your DMV, or look on their website. Each state has their own rules.

Look also at this link: http://www.dmvflorida.org/drivers-license-identification.shtml#non

"Non Immigrants

Non Immigrants that apply for a Florida drivers license or ID card must provide the Proof of Social Security Number and 2 Proofs of Residential address desribed above.

As a Non Immigrant you must provide one original or certified copy of the following Identification documents:

Employment authorization card issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security (Form I688B or I-766); or

Proof of nonimmigrant classification provided by United States Department of Homeland Security (Form I-94, not expired, with required supporting attachment(s)."

Usually, you can apply with your I-94, but I doubt the driver's licence will be valid for a long time (I would say until the end of your 90 days, date of your I-94).

If you wait for your EAD card, your driver's license will be valid for the validity of your EAD (1 year), from what the OP said in the first link I gave you).

When did you apply for your EAD? I would wait for it...

In FL, you can get a license with your EAD. It will be a temporary one, but once you get your green card, you can go back and get the permanent one that is good for 8 years. Make sure you bring your social security card and the 2 proofs of residence with you.
