My wife was issued an IR1 visa. My understanding was she would be given a stamp in her passport that would work as a green card until the actual one arrives.

 

She didn't get such a stamp when she arrived.

 

Did I get my info right about this?

The visa in her passport acts as a temporary green card (for 1 year) after it's been endorsed (stamped by a cbp officer)

Mine too. It wasnt stamped directly on the visa. It was stamped at the next page. I did asked the officer that my visa was not stamped but he just pointed the admission stamp. So that was it.

The phrase "stamp in the passport acts as temporary green card" is the phrase that will not die and it's frustrating to read.  CBP stopped placing special I-551 stamps in passports of immigrant visa holders years ago.  Instead, a standard CBP entry stamp endorses the visa itself and it's that combination that acts as the temporary green card.

It is on a different page and doesn't touch the visa sticker at all.

Ok. Thanks guys.

 

This site has been way more help than the bozo's I paid to help with this.

At the bottom of the visa sticker there is a line says that it is a temporary residency for one year.
