FLHSMV cancelled my driver's license

If anybody can help me with this issue, I'd be much obliged :).

I am currently in Authorized Stay pending my I-485 Adjustment of Status application from a K1 visa. I am a Florida resident.
In the past half year or so I went through the pesky business of acquiring an American driver's license. I did the test and written exam and 'passed with flying colors'. So far so good.

Besides that, I supplied the relevant documents as stated by Florida statutes, which are proof of address (two), evidence of pending adjustment of status (NOA1) and evidence of lawful entry (stamped K1 visa and certified marriage certificate). The employee at my county's designated tax office for non-US residents checked and accepted the evidence. They issued me a temporary license (a piece of paper to be used with my passport) and told me my license should be produced and sent within 60 days. So far so good.

However, on June 18th I received an order of cancellation (see below). I falsely assumed this was just a warning that my temporary license would expire (not my brightest moment). Today I found out through the MyDMVportal system of FLHSMV that this is actually a cancellation of my entire license. I am confused by this, as I have a valid basis on which to apply for a license (pending I-485).

I would like y'alls advice on how to proceed, as the letter seems to show several avenues of action. What do you think I should do and what do you think this letter means, exactly. What am I missing?

Traveling on ESTA to U.S. with USC Spouse while CR1 Is at NVC

Hey all,

I will try to be as detailed as possible, but if more information is needed, do ask.

Our I-130 petition was approved early May. Since then, we have been submitting documents to the NVC. The only remaining documents are those relating to the Affidavit of Support. We're deliberately holding off on sending these in because of a trip to the U.S. (mid-July till end of August) that was planned before the I-130 was approved. To be clear, the USC is domiciled in the U.S., but we'll be travelling back to the U.S. together because we're in the Netherlands right now (foreign spouse is from the Netherlands and male).

I (Dutch spouse) just finished my Master's and will not seek employment in my home country because - if all goes well - I will be moving to the U.S. around the end of September. However, that leaves me with few concrete ties to my home country. I live in my parental home, do not own property (house/apartment/car) and I am no longer a student, making it difficult to prove to CBP that I intend to go back home.

However, we were thinking:

  1. I have a perfect history of compliance with the terms of my ESTA (with trips going back to December 2021). Trips were sometimes a week long, but also as long as a month and a half.
  2. We are going through immigration the legal way. This is especially obvious since our case is already at NVC. We won't have an interview date by the time of entry, but in order to successfully complete the immigration process, I would need to fly back to my home country to attend the medical exam and the interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Frankfurt. Which I absolutely intend to do.
  3. I have a return ticket that was booked and paid for before the I-130 was approved.

But we are not sure whether this will be sufficient. For that reason, we are asking for your advice.

Thank you in advance.

Long shot, but Twitch monetization help?

Hi friends,

I know it's a long shot, but I am someone who likes to stream on Twitch occasionally and have made a few bucks from it.
After getting my EAD, I made some more, but I have to change my Tax interviews etc.
So I did that. But I can't say I'm a resident, or gc holder etc, so I have to select the 'Non US-citizen' option. They then asked me to provide proof that I am not etc. I'll copy the direct info below.

You have provided a treaty country that is different from the permanent address country. In order to remedy the discrepancy, please provide a written explanation establishing entitlement to treaty benefits, or you may provide documentary evidence that establishes tax residency in the treaty country claimed. Some common examples of accepted documents are Passport, Certificate of Residency or National ID card. The documentation must be issued by an authorized governmental body and contain your full name, address and photograph.

So I can't select I'm a US resident, as it asks the following: Are you a United States (U.S.) citizen, U.S. permanent resident (green card holder), or other U.S. resident alien? and according to all my research, no I am not. But then it rejects my explanation of 'I recently moved to the US on a K1 visa to live with my now husband. I am not a greencard holder yet, but I have an employment authorisation. So I'm still only a Dutch citizen.'

I'm so confused on what they want from me.. LOL. Anyone with experience in this field?

How did you (or do you) fill your time while waiting for your EAD/AOS?

I have been in the US for about five months now - and I love being with my partner. However, the wait for a work permit is starting to drag. I picked up hobbies (crochet, cross-stitching), have been studying Spanish, volunteer when possible and keep the house in order. However, I am still bored out of my mind. So I wondered: How did you all fill the lengthy period of waiting for your EAD/AOS to come through?

RFE for I-864... Can anyone help me determine what was wrong?

I'm so tired of this process. I double check everything, and then we get a freaking RFE. So the RFE is for:

'Based on the documents submitted, we could not determine that the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, is qualified. In order to be a qualified sponsor, the petitioning sponsor's Form I-864 must be properly completed and signed, and the supporting documents must establish that the petitioning sponsor's income meets 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for the sponsor s household size. See Form I-864P for information on the Federal Poverty Guidelines.'

What we submitted with the 864 is:

Form I-864 - Affidavit of Support, under Section 213 of the INA (Signed by Sponsor)

Proof of my US Citizenship (Copy of Passport Biographic Page)

Copy of my W2 for 2024

Copies of my IRS transcripts for the previous tax year - 2023 (5 Pages)

What am I missing???? I am just completely clueless and I don't know where it went wrong. I tried so hard to make sure everything was perfect and ofcourse we get a freaking RFE.
