I-155? stamp in passport

[NinoniAndBoosBoos 6]

I just received my Permanent Residence/Green Card on July 20, 2012 and was updateding our timeline, and there are 2 sections in the timeline that mention I-155 stamped in passport, would someone be so kind to explain this. I am so pooped from this whole process, but am now wondering if all is well if there is no I-155 passport stamp??

I do have an EAD/AP card as well, and now my Green Card...is this 1-155 stamp necessary?

Also, I was told at the interview (which was very positive) that the Green Card and my residence is conditional, yet the card does say "permanent Resident" . On the back of the letter that came with the Green Card, it states that I should apply to remove the Conditions, if you are a conditional Resident, I guess this means I am then a "conditional resident" correct?

Thanks Everyone.

P.S. I just want to share my sadness and remorse that there has been so much violence in these recent days, and pray for all of us to remain positive and strong, to forgive our neighbours, and spread some joy and goodness to any and all those that may need support: a kind word, a welcoming smile, a funny joke...pass it on...Peace to all Be courteous on the roads of life, you may never know how your good deeds can make someone happy...SO MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY

Not to worry about the stamped passport; that stamp acts as a green card while the actual card gets to your hand. It's normally done for people coming into the US and having a GC approval at that point. In the past, when the GC took long to be produced after approval, it was possible to go to a USCIS office and get the stamp. Nowadays, between notice and card in your hand is usually 1-2 weeks, 4 at the most.

You are a permanent resident but conditional to remaining married, the conditions are in effect for 2 years. There is no such thing as conditional resident. The conditions are for continuing being a resident, as oppose to conditions to your residency; in other words, you have no conditions as to being a LPR, you can work, travel, come back to country, etc. But you have conditions to continue being a resident.

Thank you so much for your reply, much appreciated. Yes I must apply to remove the conditions 90 days before the expiration of my Green Card/Permanent Resisdent Card. Now I must do the math..yuck!!!!

Wishing you all the best on your journey....thank you again.

It's I-551 and it's a greencard stamp. it's not a requirement to get it and as you said, you have the EAD and AP anyway.

Yes conditional resident.

Yes conditional resident.

And apparently she now has her green card as well. OP - in case you were not aware - now that you have your GC, your EAD and AP are invalid.

Meaning you are free to work anywhere in the US and travel out of the country anytime you want now that you have the GC. No need for EAD or AP

I didn't know that, but I will keep the EAD/AP as a momento's of all the work they both involved, gosh might even frame it thank you. But I might just keep it in my wallet when I travel just to be safe, I have learned through this whole process:"The More the better"
