The state has implemented a mechanism to help legal permanent residents and new asylees receive immigration status by emailing these groups.
The purpose of this implementation is to expedite the process so that they can apply for jobs, travel and obtain other types of benefits to which they are entitled by law.
There are several types of immigration documents that can be used to certify status.
If you have more than one current immigration document, as far as possible it is better to use the one that contains the foreigner’s number, immigration experts explain. The alien number—also called the alien registration or USCIS number—generally begins with an “A” and ends with eight or nine numbers.
- Immigration Document, Green Card
It is the most used document to demonstrate the person’s immigration status.
- Re-entry permit document
It is a permit to re-enter the US
- Legal Permanent Resident Stamp
USCIS and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issue the I-551 stamp, also known as the ADIT stamp, for lawful permanent residents or conditional permanent residents. This serves as evidence of your immigrant status until you receive a green card.
- Travel document for Refugees
A refugee travel document looks similar to a re-entry permit, but includes a refugee travel document notation above the photograph.
- Employment Authorization Documents
You must request this document when you are authorized to work in the US due to your immigration status as an asylee, refugee or U nonimmigrant and you need evidence of that employment authorization.
- Action notification
It is widely used as proof of immigration status because it provides information related to notifications of receipt, rejection, transfer, reopening, appointments, fingerprints, biometric data collection and interviews, among other immigration data.
