New I-551 “ADIT” Stamp
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009For those of you who have not seen the new I-551 Permanent Residency passport stamp, (also referred to as the“ADIT Stamp”), we link below to it. The stamp has stars in the four corners; on the left margin the vertical letters, USDHS, and on the right margin the vertical letters, USCIS.
An “ADIT” Stamp is added to a passport or an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) as temporary proof of residence. To alleviate inconvenience to our customers, USCIS continues to aggressively pursue technological improvements to allow the prompt issuing of permanent alien resident cards (“green-cards”) without the need to issue these temporary stamps.
