Hello all.
I entered the U.S. with my IR1 visa at the beginning of this month. Since then, I've received my SSN in the mail, but I haven't yet received my PRC, which I understand can take a few months to arrive.
I recently tried to get a state driver's license but ran into trouble because I don't have a stamp in my passport showing my date of entry. My visa says, "Upon endorsement serves as temporary I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year". Since, therefore, I don't have a stamp, I don't think I can prove that it has been endorsed. On the other hand, I wouldn't have received a social security card if the CBP agent admitted me without going through the first time admission process... right? At the airport, I was pulled aside and had to wait in a room for a couple of hours. I was asked a few questions while an agent did some work on the computer and then I was sent on my way.
What can I do to prove my date of entry? I understand that LPRs don't get I-94s. I also cannot find any travel history on the I-94 website.

Lack of Stamp on Passport and Resulting Difficulties
Thank you, helpful people. I sent an email to i94msp@cbp.dhs.gov asking about correcting the issue and they have asked for PDFs of my bio page and visa. I will follow this and see where it leads.
