Noo not the urban myth 😅.. 

@Lotus95, when you receive your document kindly post a readcted picture here like HarryWL did so we have more proof this urban myth is actually true. 😀

Ignore the above naysayers - this isn’t bunk.
This also happened to someone else on here a few months back (also in FL as it happens) and they provided pictures of it too so it’s a thing. 

Its the same I-551 stamp, just on a portion of an I-94W (part of a white visa entry form) which acts as a temporary proof of permanent residence exactly as a stamp in a passport does.

Yes I remember that thread too but I don’t think I’ll be able to find it.

I always bookmark important threads. 
 

OP’s report  is the third such report I’ve read about.

This is great.  I have not seen this before.

Oh wow, thanks a lot!!! I'm pretty sure what he said was I-94 too. So everything he said might have been true besides it being a new thing from this or last month. But I'll forgive him for that lol. Anyway I'm hopeful again and will keep you updated! I appreciate the help.

Yes, please do keep us updated, and thank you!

Please post back and include pictures (redacted info of course).

This stuff is important for others to know.

I'm kind of chuckling - it's almost like they went into the document vault and found boxes upon boxes of old I-94 cards from before the digital age and were tasked with using them.  

 

That in mind, this definitely simplifies the lengthy InfoPass for ADIT stamp process, as OP said.  All good until some evil genius pulls together a nefarious plan to "be creative" and fake them.

Rumour has it the next update will be to issue I-551 stamps on expired covid test boxes.

It looks like there may be a planned announcement coming. Not an official source, but the details match: https://tandslaw.com/uscis-expected-to-announce-new-application-process-for-adit-stamps/

That's great!! I haven't received anything in the mail yet but I checked my online account and this is what it says ''On February 17, 2023, your request to have the field office mail an T2 I551 stamp, referral number ######, was assigned to an officer for response.''

So seems to be the real deal!!

Which field office has jurisdiction over your case?

Did you call to make an appointment for an Adit stamp and is that what they are referring to as “your request?” Trying to figure out how I can put a request in for that too.

Well I gave them a call to request the stamp and they gave me the usual story that I will get a call in 30 days to schedule it, but instead I got a call 2 hours later explaining that they can actually mail it to me and if I wish to proceed with that request instead. So I'm not quite sure if you can specifically request that mailed stamp already or if it would have to be ''offered'' to you? 🤔
