I am currently abroad. My I-829 just got adjudicated, but my mailroom lost my 10-year green card. I need to return to the US to file an I-90. Can I enter the US with the ADIT stamp in my passport? I have been getting the ADIT stamp annually while waiting for I-829 adjudication. Is the ADIT stamp still valid if my 10-year green card came out before the ADIT expiration date?
