I555 stamp at Port of entry

[Ang Oras 13]

Has anyone came in on a CR1 and got the I555 stamp but the CBP officer didn't 

Put a date ? However they did include the

Alien Registration Number but no expiration date is it typically 2 years later and one day before the entry date?

Get a copy of your I-94 and see what it says.

 

I-94 is electronic now. Access it here: https://i94.cbp.dhs....94/request.html

They normally stamp and put  CR1 or IR1 and sometimes a date 1 year later or current date.  The visa when endorsed acts as a temporary green card valid for 1 year. 

You wont get a 2 year stamp.  You need the physical card.

Irrelevant for an immigrant visa.  The stamp and visa combination serves as a temporary green card for a year from the entry date.  The green card, when it comes, will have its own expiration date two years or ten years from the entry date.

Yup, know that. I just wanted to give her assurance that a missing date is not a big deal because it was listed on her I-94. Your correct for your reply and I appreciate the clarification.

Immigrant entry doesn't get an i94

There IS NO I-94 issued when entering with an immigrant visa.  I think she meant there was no exit date hand written next to the stamp.  Then entry date is part of EVERY stamp.

Entry date is "hardcoded", exit date is handwritten.

Correct, but no exit date is handwritten when using an immigrant visa, because there IS no date by which the person must leave the USA.  They are allowed to "immigrate" permanently.  (In some cases, subject to removal of conditions)

I was only wondering because some with CR1 visa show the stamp with two dates entry date and another date hand written it's 2 years away minus one day I didn't get this date in mine . I already have my Conditional green card.

My stamp had a date that was completely illegible because it was so feint. I had to make a trip to “deferred inspection” to have it re-stamped.

Those agents often make mistakes.  The answers I've given are based on them doing their jobs correctly.  Any hand written end date, would be meaningless, even if it eventually matches the expiration date on the green card.  The stamp is a substitute green card for a year.  Yes, an illegible date would need to be restamped at deferred inspection.  Entry dates for my wife and stepdaughter in 2006 were August 39.  The agent changed to 2 to a 3 on his roller stamp instead of the 9 to the 0.  Stuff happens.
