Okay here is what I found!

Required Documentation
  • A non U.S. citizen must present all of his or her BCIS documents to Driver Licensing personnel, such as Visa with I-94, Employment Authorization Card (I-688A or I688B or I-766) or I-94 with stamped picture. College students must also present an I-20 form completed by university, along with a letter from the Universities Registrars Office, stating enrolled full-time and in good standing. J-1 exchange visitors must have form DS2019.
Residency Requirements
  • All non U.S. citizens must also provide proof of residency in Kentucky. Kentucky law defines "residency" as a person who has established Kentucky as his or her state of domicile. Proof of residency shall include, but not be limited to, a deed or property tax bill, utility agreement or utility bill or housing agreement.
Testing
  • All non U.S. citizens applying for a first time Kentucky license, with the exception of permanent residents, are required to take the written, vision and road tests. This includes transfer driver's holding a valid license from another state or country. Driver's holding a valid out of state license, or a valid license from a Geneva Compact country, will not be required to hold a permit. Non U.S. citizens already licensed in Kentucky are not required to retest but they must be approved by Division of Driver Licensing.

So it looks like the Docs you will need is either a copy of your I-94 which is the same document you use to eventually get your SSN. It proves that you legally entered the US or your EAD which is given once you file for AOS if you do the additional forms to get the Combo Card.

Everything else you mentioned already is correct with regard to the testing and a piece of mail being required. This is very similar to how Florida is but he is able to drive for the first few months in Florida using his UK DL. Good news is in Kentucky they are a bit more lenient and you are able to drive on your UK license for up to a year from entry! In Florida it's only 3 months. Hopefully with being able to drive on your original license for a year will help out until you can get your EAD.
