DL after cancellation of removal was granted

[magra]

After years of immigration efforts (Labor Cert etc.) my case turned into removal proceeding and I was granted Cancellation of Removal by an Immigration Judge. Up to that point I was always able to renew my Florida drivers license using pending 797, court dates etc. When I went to get it renewed again, showing my IJO granting cancellation of removal, they refused to renew it because the document showed that DHS has reserved the right to appeal (which they now did). So, even though I have a legal presence in the U.S and a COR granted, I cannot get my license renewed! Since the appeal can take months or even a year or longer, I am screwed without a license. I do have a valid DL from my home country but since I have kids in school, it is not valid for driving in FL. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem, maybe similar experiences and a solution that worked?

Since you have an immigration proceeding pending, I am assuming you retain legal counsel for that matter? If not, now is a good time to see an immigration attorney. Your question is very specific with an reservation of the right of appeals, so you are not likely to find anyone here with that kind of experience to help you. Good luck and hope all turns out ok for you.
