Traveling on I-551 stamp

 Share

6 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I've asked this before but haven't heard a good reply about using my CR-1 stamp to travel back and forth to the PHILIPPINES.

Has any of you travel back to Philippines using just the I-551 STAMP? will it be good enough or do I need a Letter from Embassy

I'm still worried that I'll need a letter. I read somewhere that at the airport Immirgration were asking for this.

Thank you!

Yes you can travel with it. Temporary I-551 Stamps and MRIVs

A machine-readable immigrant visa (MRIV) usually has the following text on it: UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR.” When a new immigrant first enters the United States, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will stamp the passport with an admission stamp that shows permanent resident status and the date the new immigrant entered the United States. The employee’s foreign passport with the MRIV is evidence of permanent residence status for one year from the date of admission. Even if the MRIV is issued without the statement “FOR 1 YEAR,” employers should still treat the MRIV as an acceptable List A document valid for one year from the date of admission.

the stamp in the passport is endorsed and is near but not on the immigrant visa, it is still a valid endorsement.

Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States may produce one of the following as acceptable documentation:

  • I-551, Permanent Residence Card ("Green Card")
  • Machine-readable immigrant visa with a CBP Admission Stamp
  • Temporary Residence Stamp (ADIT stamp) contained in a passport or on Form I-94
  • Valid Reentry Permit
  • Unexpired Immigrant Visa

For more information on these requirements, please see the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website. USCIS does notadminister this program or manage ports of entry.

In the example above, the employee’s MRIV expires and the employer must update Form I-9 by July 24, 2015.

I-551 Stamp is needed to enter the US, not your country. You enter your country with your own passport.

Your I-551 annotation in your passport is proof of Permanent Resident status for one year, pending receipt of your Green Card. It will allow you to reenter the U.S. after travelling abroad. Do you have your green card? With both you can travel with no concerns.
