Confused about actual I-551 stamp - did I receive the correct stamp?

After reading a few threads about the actual I-551 stamp, I am not sure if the immigration officer at the POE stamped my passport correctly or not.

The stamp they used at the POE looks like a very normal "US Admission" stamp just like I have received many times before when returning back to the US after international trips.

There is no red ink or anything noticeably special about the stamp they used.

Also, they wrote "E-13" by hand into the stamp, which i am not sure what that means.

Can someone please tell me how i can confirm if they used the correct I-551 stamp as I will be travelling internationally in a couple of weeks and would like to avoid any problems returning to the US.

Thank you!
 
Yes, that's fine. They start using a visa sticker in a passport a while ago with a regular stamp instead of inking an I-551 evidence on a blank page. E-13 is your class of admission, multinational executives or managers, new arrivals.

Hi;

My wife has a GC and most of times she gets a stamp on her foreign passport when she comes back from a foreign trip.

This time, she came back with kids who all got stamps. But herself?!

Is that normal, a returning LPR not getting an entry stamp in their passport?

Thanks,
A.
