After a great interview, I had one more document to provide before completing my AOS process. I had to bring in my long-form birth certificate. I ordered it from Canada and it came very quickly... I brought it into the same person who interviewed my husband and I and he made a copy and stamped my passport with an I-551 for one year from that date.

I apologize if this seems a silly question but is that the same as a green card? Does this mean that we may be receiving that long-awaited welcome letter?

I just want to check before I get too excited!!

**I'm starting to see the light at the end of the immigration tunnel!!

The I-551 stamp acts as a temp greencard for 1 year, it is good for work and international travel. It is as good as a regular greencard.

Congratulations

No, I entered as a visitor in May of last year and my husband and I eloped soon after that. Then I did AOS.
