Questions after successful CP

[Very_Hopeful]

Gurus,

I had a successful CP interview on June 12th. On my passport, the IV issued says: Valid for six months and "upon endorsement serves as temporary I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year." I am confused. what does this mean. what is I-1551. Can I travel outside US with this stamp before I get the actual green card? what if I dont get the green card in six months?

Thanks for sharing your info. Yes...you can travel anywhere with the I551stamp. I551 is a temporary greencard until you get the real one mailed within a year(now a days they mail your physical green card within 60 days). About the oher stamp for ...guessing that it would be validity of the visa you got..means you can enter into US anytime within six months. It'll not mean anything once you arrive in US.
