Hi Guys,
In my visa stamp there is a note say :
"Upon Endorsement Serves As Temporary I-551 Evidencing Permanent Residence For 1 Year"

Does anyone know what is the meaning of that?

Thank you
 
It means once it is endorsed by immigration inspector on your first entry into US, it can be used to prove that you are a permanent resident for a period of 1 year (this is required because your green card may take a few weeks/months to arrive and you need proof that you are a legal resident).

Oh thank you nkm-oct23, your information is very-very valuable for me and for those other IV applicant. So every Imigrant Visa (DV) stamp must have these sentence on their visa ?

Yes, every immigrant visa, not just DV has that sentence printed on it.

It means that you have evidencing permanent resident status for 1 year because it is acceptable for establishing a non-U.S citizens eligibility to be employed in USA, according to an Employer Information Bulletin issued July 26, 2004, by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Office of Business Liaison. Employers must now accept this new evidence of a newly hired worker’s lawful permanent residence status when the worker completes the I‑9 employment eligibility verification process.
