I'm getting the stamping done because I am not worried about returning to the US. I am worried about other countries that make exemptions for US Green Card holders ( passport not with standing) during a cruise that is going to visit 5 countries in 7 days. Some of these countries are ambiguous about accepting the letter. The stamp will help me overcome that and keep me from having to get visas separately for each country.

Just out of curiosity...what was the rfe for? Did they just ask you for like one specific thing? Just seems really fast that you responded and 10 days later you got the approval. That's barely enough time to gather info and mail it to them.

Anyway...congratulations!!

Good question! Honestly I was quite surprised we got an RFE as I sent what I thought was a stellar package (lol). The RFE was pretty generic.

Below is what was in the original filing:

· Copy (front and back) of XXX's Permanent Resident Card

· Copies (front and back) of our Driver Licenses

· 2012, 2013 and 2014 IRS Tax Transcripts

· Joint Checking Account Bank Statements from account open date (12/2012) to current

· Retirement Beneficiary verification showing primary beneficiary

· Joint Auto Insurance policies from 2013 - current

· Utility bills in both of our names from 12/2012 – current

· Family plan Cellphone (Family plan started in 2014)

· A few of our photos together.

· Two affidavits

· Some miscellaneous letters we received.

We don't have a lease or mortgage together and filed taxes "married filing separately" nor do we have any kids together yet. I'm really not sure what triggered the RFE but my response was simply more bank statements from the time we filed, more bills and more insurance bills. I explained everything else in a cover letter. I really didn't have anything new to add to the list.

Thanks!

So I went to get the i-551 stamp and the IO refused. Said he couldn't give me a stamp. This was at the Atlanta field office. I'm so confused now.

They would not stamp my husband's passport either at the Kansas City office. They told him he needs to use the letter. :(

What bothers me is how random it is. How is it that one person gets it and another doesn't? I just hope the letter alone doesn't give me trouble.

Agreed! It's frustrating how inconsistent the entire process has been....

Could someone please amend my comment (Got I-551 stamp 06/09)to read that it was for adult CR2 so there’s no confusion. She was given a stamp as she is living in a different state & city and needed the stamp as proof she was extended for work/travel - her name is not even on the letter and she had nothing to show for herself.

Thanks :)

AND a big congrats to the people who have been approved. Good luck to the rest of us!!
