The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services recently changed its procedures regarding the issuance of ADIT stamps. Local USCIS offices will no longer automatically provide an ADIT stamp to an approved permanent resident applicant waiting for his or her green card.
An ADIT stamp is temporary proof of residence in the United States that is generally placed on a passport or an I-94, an Arrival-Departure Record. Previously, USCIS would automatically provide an ADIT stamp to approved applicants because of an almost eight-week delay between approval and receipt of a green card.
ADIT stamps will continue to be provided on a case-by-case basis if applicants can show they need a stamp to be issued.
