I got my IV issued in December and was flying to the US this week for personal reasons but didn't want to officially cross as a resident and activate my Green Card yet (still haven't finalized the details of the move). I asked the Customs officer at the airport to not activate my GC but he insisted that the system wouldn't let me enter on a vistor's visa instead and did it anyways. However, he didn't stamp my IV in my passport and said they no longer do that. So now I'm confused about my status- how do I know if my GC was actually active and that I'm officially a resident? I was under the impression that the stamp serves as a temp GC until the real one arrives.
Did anyone cross recently? Did you get stamped?
