I doubt you will have an I-551 stamp in your passport since you didn't enter on a IR-1/CR-1 visa. They would have given you an I-94.

I-551 is also the official name for your green card.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

An I-551 nay be a green card, a form, or a stamp in your current valid foreign passport, the later is required to keep you here legally in the event you lose your green card or if you experience long delays when the USCIS is processing your conditional or ten year card. I-551 in any form shows that you are here legally as a lawful permanent resident, provided the expiration date hasn't been met yet.

We came very close to getting an I-551 stamp in my wife's current valid foreign passport due to long delays in processing our I-751, but if you don't have a passport, can also apply for an I-94 with an infopass appointment by bringing in two passport type photos of yourself.

USCIS doesn't tell you this stuff if they are experiencing long delays, we had to learn this stuff on our own, this board was a big help in this matter. Its up to you to keep yourself legal.

Is this a trick question? Your Green Card's code name is . . . . take a guess: I-551.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Trick question by the USCIS in that the I-551 can either be a card, a form, or a stamp in your valid foreign passport.
