I cannot comment on FL, but in NY and NJ they won’t issue a stamp unless your job requests it or you are traveling out of the country and have printed out airplane tickets. It is kinda weird that they won’t issue you a stamp since you can’t really live in FL without a car... I would suggest to ask your employer to write you a letter that they need an updated I-9 form (my employer asked me for one each time my stamp was expiring), hopefully that will be enough of a reason for them to give you a stamp.
 

If that doesn’t help, you might need to seek assistance of a lawyer.

What can i do ?

When I first applied for my I-485 I was told by my attorney that I would have to wait until I received the employment authorization card in order to renew my driver's license.  However, after doing some research I found the DMV's acceptable documents form and that said that the I-797 form (notice of action) for the pending I-485 was enough.  I went in with all those documents, along with a printout of the DMV's page that stated these rules expecting some questions, but the DMV worker went ahead and processed the license without asking me any questions.  

 

I was under the impression that the extension letter served the same purpose as the stamp.  If you have some time to spare and you can find a DMV office that's open, you might want to give it a try.

 

The link I saved to the DMV doc no longer works, so I'm not sure if anything has changed since then (I did this in 2017).

 

This is old, but on page 5 you'll see "I-797 for I-751" : https://www.immigrationlawmiami.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/1600525/2020/05/Acceptable-documents-for-noncitizens-to-obtain-a-driver-s-license.pdf

 

From DMV's website, shows I-797, however, it only mentions refugee status which is odd: https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/what-to-bring/immigrant/

 

And I can't seem to find my original post on this topic, but a search brings up someone else's comment where they copied and pasted what I wrote:

 

For anyone reading this who is in Florida - contrary to what the DMV website says, you CAN get a drivers license before receiving your EAD.  Even my attorney told me the same thing.  However, I did some research and found the DMV's "Acceptable Documents Table" and on page 13 under the section titled "I-797 for I-130 Pending" it states that a pending application is enough to get a license valid for 1 year.  I went to the DMV with this page printed out as well as all the required documents.  My wife came with me and brought her passport since it says they require evidence of petitioner's status.  I was expecting the DMV worker to have no idea about this rule, however, he barely looked at the page I printed out and proceeded to ask for all the required documents without question.  I have an expired Florida license, but I don't think that makes any difference.  They do not give you an actual license right then and there.  Instead, they print a slip out that serves as a temporary driving permit which can be used immediately, and is valid for 60 days.  You would need some kind of picture ID along with this in case you get pulled over since the permit does not have a picture on it.  If you enter your license number on the DMV's license check website, it shows as a valid license.  It also says  "Thank you for your recent driver license application. We are currently verifying your legal presence. Please allow 60 days from your application date before contacting us."  The DMV worker told me that if I didn't receive the license by day 50, I should come back to the DMV.  He scanned all the supporting documents so I'm assuming that someone has to manually verify the information before issuing a license.  I hope this helps someone else, as not even my attorney knew about this rule.
