My EB-5 I-829 has been pending for years, and I have been using the I-551 stamp for a long time for school. Since I have to renew my I-551 stamp every year, how could I prove to my employer (who has never seen this type of stamp before) that I am eligible to work in the U.S. and will not need sponsorship in the future?
