Will they stamp I-551 on I-94?

[msilitonga 0]

All,

I need to get an I-551 stamp while waiting for approval for my I-751 application (Feb 22 2008 receipt date against the CSC office). Unfortunately, my passport has long expired and my nearest country's consulate is close to 200 miles away. I have read some posts that Immigration can stamp I-551 on an I-94. I have also read that Immigration will not stamp I-551 until the NOA extension (that extends the greencard for one year) gets closer. My question is, which of these is true? What I-94 should I bring to my InfoPass interview? I have some old I-94 from my H-1B days, should I bring those?

Thank you,

Simon

What is it that you need the I-551 stamp for???

Have you checked about mailing your passport for renewal?? Kez did hers by mail...

I need the stamp to get an unrestricted social security card to satisfy an I-9. My country's regulations require that I renew in person because my passport has already expired.

Take this memo with you and they will stamp an I-94 for you. Be sure to bring pictures as they will attach one to the I-94.

So would that be a new I-94, one that Immigration will provide? And sorry to be a pain, what would be standard picture size to attach to I-94?

Yes, it's a new I-94. As to the photo size, I would follow the photo requirements on the I-485 form.

msilitonga, I'm going to try go the same thing on Friday. I'll let you know if they do it.

eau_xplain,

My deepest respect and gratitude. I hope the best for you. I have everything set for my InfoPass appt this Friday. Your advice seems foolproof to me. I should be able to get the I-551 stamped on an I-94 and then an unrestricted SS. Then I-9 should be satisfied. The weakest link I see is the fact that my NOA is not about to expire. But I believe that if I explain my situation, Immigration should provide the stamp. Wish me luck!

I will report back my experience Friday afternoon.

Thank you again,

Simon

I actually have InfoPass set up this Friday too. I'm going to Indianapolis, IN office, how about you?

Best of luck for the both of us!
