I-551 stamping

[gcwait_2003]

hi Gurus,
I went to the local office with an infopass appointment to talk to immigration officer regarding an error in my green card(wrong DOB).
She stamped my passport and it is like this:

Upon endorsement,serves as temporary i-551 evidencing permanent residency for one year.
Issue Date 09-27-07
officer
Employment Authorized
Valid Until 03-27-08

and she advised me to file I-90 as usual.

My Question is:

1. Why They mentioned Iam Employment Authorized
Valid Until 03-27-08. I have a green card and why Iam restricted to that particular date?

2.Am I issued temp.green card for 1 year ?(for travelling)

3. If I file I-90 And even after 6 months if I didnt get my corrected Green card, can I go to the office and get stamped again?

4. And also Iam not particular If it is adminstrative error or whether my lawyer sent the incorrected one, I asked the imm.officer and she checked and told they dont have scanned copy and suggested to keep it as adm.error.
Would that give problem if the USCIS finds its not admin.error?Or Just will ask to send the payment?


Help from Gurus are highly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance

-------------------------YES the stamp is valid till 1 year. you are lucky that got stamp. FYI they dont stamp the passport if you dont have I-90 filing reciept
3. If I file I-90 And even after 6 months if I didnt get my corrected Green card, can I go to the office and get stamped again?
----------------------------------YES (keep the evidence of filing I-190)

4. And also Iam not particular If it is adminstrative error or whether my lawyer sent the incorrected one, I asked the imm.officer and she checked and told they dont have scanned copy and suggested to keep it as adm.error.
Would that give problem if the USCIS finds its not admin.error?Or Just will ask to send the payment?
-------------------------------if the DOB is wrong on I-485 form they will ask the fees. if the DOB on form is correct then they will not ask the fee. you can get the COPY of I-485 form from lawyer and send the copy to then if that form has correct DOB

My CG is lost. Will USCIS stamped my passport without a receipt number? I actually received a notice from USCIS stating that the CG is officially lost. I have seen cases where IO will not stamp Passport without receipt number (for I-90) and it has caused some problems for GC holder (without the physical card ) to travel. Thanks for your input.

You are not restricted to that date, except for actual use of the stamp for obtaining new employment or travel. Once you have started working at a job, you can continue working after that stamp has expired, just as green card holders can continue working in the same job even if their card has expired.

"Employment Authorized" means you can now go to the SS office and get a card without the "not valid for employment" clause. According to the I-9 instructions, you can use that new SS card combined with a driver's license instead of showing the green card or I-551 stamp. So if you have that updated card, you can still change jobs even if your passport stamp has expired and you have not received the physical green card.

They normally provide a receipt if the card was reported lost. But they usually don't give the receipt if a new card is requested because of USCIS error.

I am talking about the receipt after applying for a replacement card. Some said you cannot get your passport stamped if you dont have the application receipt. USCIS sent me a notice of lost green card.

I know.

Some said you cannot get your passport stamped if you dont have the application receipt.

You will have difficulty but eventually they should stamp it if you persist and explain that the USCIS does not provide an I-90 receipt for cards being replaced due to error. However, you might have to speak to a supervisor to get this done, as the drones will usually refuse to stamp without the receipt.

USCIS sent me a notice of lost green card.

Did you file an I-90 to request a replacement? They should send an I-90 receipt, since it would be for replacing a lost card, not replacing one with an error.

I think the receipt issue has something to do with fees. When you apply for a replacement because of their error, there is no fee. Since there is no fee, they don't want to spend the time and money out of their pocket to process, print and mail the receipt. Whereas with replacement cards for other reasons such as lost/stolen or name change, there is a fee which will cover all parts of the process.

does anybody know what is the meaning of permanent resident commuter and Not a Commuter.

It is first question in Part 2 of I-90 form.
