What does that mean?

[Meninaa 2]

Receiving my visa, this is what was written on it:

UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR

What does it mean? I know I have 6 months to enter the USA before it expires, but what does 'for 1 year' mean? 

Thank you!

It means that when you first travel with your spouse visa and get a CBP entry stamp in your passport, your visa + CBP stamp will serve as your temporary green card for 1 year after US entry.  The expiration date listed on the visa will be irrelevant after you enter the US.

"Endorsement" is the entry stamp next to the visa.
