Effective August 1, 2006, this new stamp was placed into service. All previous ADIT stamp versions used by USCIS have been retired and are no longer used after August 1, 2006; however, if the issue date is prior to August 1, 2006, an old version of the ADIT stamp is acceptable.

I-551/ I-151 Card

Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) A valid I-551 card is required: however, we will accept a Receipt notice indicating a replacement has been applied for along with the expired I-551. All A #s will be verified through SAVE. If the status is invalid the license will be canceled as soon as we receive a response from DHS. This procedure will establish substantial compliance with the law. Note:

Old I-551 Cards without an expiration date are acceptable for driver license or identification card issuance.

I-551 cards containing a baby photo are acceptable; however, you must inform the customer that they should obtain a new card so they do not have any problems next time they apply for a driver license or identification card.

I-551/I-151 Stamp in passport or on I-94

Note: The I-551 stamp on a valid passport will substitute for the ADIT stamp as proof of Lawful Permanent Resident provided the dates are valid. If the date is expired, the applicant will need a receipt from DHS indicating they have applied for the I-551 card. The valid I-551 stamp on the valid passport must have the alien registration number. The registration number on the stamp above is the Alien Registration Number.

Prosecutorial Discretion:

Under a new initiative from the DHS, ICE agents, their attorneys and the Director/Deputy Director of DHS are allowed to use their discretion to close cases and allow applicants currently in removal proceedings to remain in the country lawfully. This is a two-step process: The applicant’s attorney and the prosecutors in ICE, etc., jointly file a motion to terminate the removal proceedings case. Then the motion is heard by a IJO and a Final Order is issued. The Final Order may be approved, granted, or denied. In all such cases, we can issue the license/ID for one year upon receiving the following documents:

• Copy of Joint motion for termination • Original of the Final order “granting” or “approving” the motion. • If the motion is denied, we will not process for issuance.





Administrative Closures:

Administrative closures or termination of a removal proceedings case implies that the case has not been proven by DHS to warrant removal and deportation and the applicant can remain lawfully in the country. When a case is administratively terminated, we can issue the license/ID upon receiving the order terminating the case. Documents required will be:

• Notice To Appear for the removal proceedings and the • IJO Order terminating the case

Order Granting Asylum

Once an asylum applicant is granted asylum, and the applicant’s spouse or unmarried children under the age of 21 come into the country with a valid passport, it will be stamped as “Admitted as an Asylee”. This means they are also fully granted an asylum status even on the date of entry. They will be eligible for a regular 8-year license. The relationship of spouse and children must exist on the day they are admitted into the country.


Refugee

All refugees will have an A# and have a valid passport and/or I-94 Note: This could be a I-797 or some other form from USCIS. The applicant’s spouse or unmarried children under the age of 21 come into the country with a valid passport; it will be stamped as “Admitted as a Refugee” or similar words indicating the same. This means they are also fully granted refugee status even on the date of entry. They will be eligible for a regular 8-year license. The relationship of spouse and children must exist on the day they are admitted into the country. All refugees will be treated as lawful permanent residence for license issuance purposes.

B. Petitioner is a US Citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident and I-130 is pending. Required Documents: Valid Passport and I-94 (I-94 may be expired) Date of Entry stamp in passport I-797 for I-130 Documents showing relationship between petitioner and beneficiary such as: Marriage Certificate for spouse Birth Certificate for siblings indicating same parents Birth Certificate proving child parent relationship Notes:

• The date of entry stamp in the valid passport may be expired as long as the I-130 was filed while in status.

• The beneficiary can be an over-stay as long as the I-130 application was filed while in status.

• Passports without any immigration entry stamp will not be accepted.

• I-130 for immediate relatives of USC may be over three years old (immediate relatives for USC- spouse- parents, unmarried minor children under 21 years old)

• I-130 for eligible relatives must be less than three years old to be accepted.

Immediate relatives: - spouse, parents, unmarried children under the age of 21 of US Citizens. Eligible relatives of US Citizens include- unmarried children 21 years or older- married son or daughter any age- Your brother or sister (petitioner must be 21 or older) Eligible relatives of Lawful Permanent Residents include – Spouse and unmarried children

*Immediate relatives who entered the Unites States legally and present a valid Passport, I-94 (may be expired) and a pending application for both the I-130 and I-485 can be issued a license or ID card, even if they did not file the I-130 and I-485 while in status.

The DL/ID can be issued based on the I-797 for the I-130 and the proof of the relationship as an immediate relative. Example- customer presents a valid Passport and I-94 from Brazil, entered as a visitor (B2) on 12-10-2006, is now an overstay, married a US citizen and files the I-130 and I-485, customer can be issued a license or ID card with these two pending applications even though she did not file these forms while in status.

relative and came in to the US legally. I-797 for I-140
