Temporary I-551 Stamps and MRIVs.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website has an
explanation of the machine-readable immigrant visa (MRIV). An Afghan
evacuee that has a foreign passport with the MRIV can provide this to an
employer as evidence of permanent residence status for one year from the
date of admission.
