Did any1 face any problem on his/her last visit to pakistan with this stamp? :eek: what about Dubai? do they recognize ? i heard that you can not travel Via UK because they will not let you travel back to USA with this stamp.. :eek:

Please advice. Thank You :)

Hello kwan225,

I do not think you should have any problem with the stamp as long as it is valid. From all I have read on it, it seems to be very recognized all over.

Thankx Stoned for this reply, yes i have heard that too but as i wrote from UK (Manchester/Heathrow) with this stamp, they don't allow you to travel to USA. and i do not trust Pakistani FIA/Customs as well, i know at Dubai i'll not have any problem.

did any1 recently visit to PK with I-551?
 
If the following is true, then you will need a UK transit visa:

If you hold a valid travel document with a US ‘ADIT’ stamp saying – 'Processed for I-551. TEMPORARY EVIDENCE OF LAWFUL ADMISSION FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE VALID UNTIL [date]. EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZED'


I saw that on this link:

BTW, I did recently go to the Pakiland via Heathrow, but I had the actual GC with me.

Good Luck,


Stoned!

Hi,
This is response to my own question about I-551 stamp on passport and visit pakistan.
There is no issue as far as you have old (expired) Green card with you or atleast I-797. The FIA still works old way. they have to verify your RED I-551 Stamp.
Good luck. :)
