Hello, at the interview my passport got stamped. Im going back to germany tomorrow. The officer said they would ask me a lot of questions cause of the stamp.. why that? Should I bring something else?
11.4)...When do I get the green card? A..After the interview, your passport "may" be stamped with the I-551 Alien Registration Receipt stamp. (Congratulations. You are now a Conditional Permanent Resident). In many cases however this does not happen and you are told to wait for your green card to arrive in the mail. The stamp and/or green card are proof of your new permanent residency. Note: You will also have a fingerprint taken for the green card. The photos you submitted with the I-485 will be used for your green card picture. If you have been married more than two years when you have your Adjustment interview, you may well become a permanent resident with no conditions.
As a Conditional Permanent Resident, you do not need advance parole to reenter the US after traveling abroad. The I-551 stamp (if you got it) or green card is also proof of authorization to work. By law, you need to carry your passport with the I-551 stamp (if you got it) or your green card with you at all times as proof of your status.
