CARDS / STAMPS
Effective August 1, 2006, this new stamp was placed into service. All previous
ADIT stamp versions used by USCIS have been retired and are no longer used
after August 1, 2006; however, if the issue date is prior to August 1, 2006, an
old version of the ADIT stamp is acceptable.
I-551/ I-151
Card
Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
A valid I-551 / I-151 card is required: however, we will accept a Receipt
notice indicating a replacement has been applied for along with the
expired I-551 / I-151.
All A #s will be verified through SAVE.
If the status is invalid the license will be canceled as soon as we receive
a response from DHS. This procedure will establish substantial
compliance with the law.
Note:
Old I-551 Cards without an expiration date are acceptable for driver
license or identification card issuance.
I-551/ I-151 cards containing a baby photo are acceptable; however, you
must inform the customer that they should obtain a new card so they do
not have any problems next time they apply for a driver license or
identification card.

stamp as proof of Lawful Permanent Resident provided the dates are
valid. If the date is expired, the applicant will need a receipt from DHS
indicating they have applied for the I-551 card. The valid I-551 stamp
on the valid passport must have the alien registration number. The
registration number on the stamp above is the Alien Registration
Number. If it has only 8 digits, add a '0' in the front of it to make it nine
digits.

Date of Entry stamp in passport
I-797 for I-130
Documents showing relationship between petitioner and beneficiary such as:
Marriage Certificate for spouse
Birth Certificate for siblings indicating same parents
Birth Certificate proving child parent relationship
Notes:
The date of entry stamp in the valid passport may be expired as long as the I-
130 was filed while in status.
The beneficiary can be an over-stay as long as the I-130 application was filed
while in status.
Passports without any immigration entry stamp will not be accepted.
I-130 for immediate relatives of USC may be over three years old (immediate
relatives for USC- spouse- parents, unmarried minor children under 21 years
old)
I-130 for eligible relatives must be less than three years old to be accepted.
Immediate relatives: - spouse, parents, unmarried children under the age of 21 of
US Citizens.
Eligible relatives of US Citizens include- unmarried children 21 years or older-
married son or daughter any age- Your brother or sister (petitioner must be 21 or
older)

unmarried children
*Immediate relatives who entered the Unites States legally and present a valid
Passport, I-94 (may be expired) and a pending application for both the I-130 and I-
485 can be issued a license or ID card, even if they did not file the I-130 and I-485
while in status. In cases where the client may be in removal proceedings for an
earlier application but has since become an immediate relative, an I-485 will not be
necessary since the applicant can only file this when the I-130 is approved. The
DL/ID can be issued based on the I-797 for the I-130 and the proof of the
relationship as an immediate relative.
Example- customer presents a valid Passport and I-94 from Brazil, entered as a
visitor (B2) on 12-10-2006, is now an overstay, married a US citizen and files the I-
130 and I-485, customer can be issued a license or ID card with these two pending
applications even though she did not file these forms while in status. Accept even if
both applications have been filed separately. They do not have to be filed at the same
time. This is allowed because she married a US citizen, which now makes her an
immediate relative and came in to the US legally.

Under a new initiative from the DHS, ICE agents, their attorneys and the
Director/Deputy Director of DHS are allowed to use their discretion to close cases
and allow applicants currently in removal proceedings to remain in the country
lawfully. This is a two-step process: The applicant’s attorney and the prosecutors in
ICE, etc., jointly file a motion to terminate the removal proceedings case. Then the
motion is heard by a IJO and a Final Order is issued. The Final Order may be
approved, granted, or denied.
In all such cases, we can issue the license/ID for one year upon receiving the
following documents:
Copy of Joint motion for termination
Original of the Final order “granting” or “approving” the motion.
If the motion is denied, we will not process for issuance.
Administrative Closures:
Administrative closures or termination of a removal proceedings case implies that
the case has not been proven by DHS to warrant removal and deportation and the
applicant can remain lawfully in the country. When a case is administratively
terminated, we can issue the license/ID upon receiving the order terminating the
case. Documents required will be:
Notice To Appear for the removal proceedings and the
IJO Order administratively closing the case.

Any applicant with an Order of Supervision who has been issued a Real ID
Compliant license or ID is not required to provide a primary photo ID document for
subsequent license/ID. The expired or expiring compliant license/ID will be the
photo ID document. However, they still must proved lawful presence to be issued.
In all instances for an initial issuance, if the Order of Supervision (OOS) I-220B (in
some cases I-220A) has the photograph and the date of birth on the document itself,
then we can accept any one of the documents indicated below.
* Valid passport (unexpired but date of entry stamp is not required)
* Valid Employment Authorization card
* Other USCIS documents (go through your chain on command)
Examples are:
Letter providing name of supervisor and frequency of reporting
Expired photo ID (EAD/Passport) – Will require portal exception
Any other correspondence from DHS
If the I-220B or A does not have photo and DOB, one of the above “Other USCIS
Documents” must have both photo and DOB listed.
This is why an expired EAD/Passport can be accepted with portal exception
approval. Expired EAD cards must have expired within three years.
