15.2.3.D I-151 Alien Registration Receipt Card Issued in the past by USCIS to lawful permanent resident noncitizens, this card is no longer issued and is no longer considered a valid verification document. USCIS is conducting a program to replace Form I-151 with the more recent Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551. This program was extended to March 20, 1996. USCIS will continue to honor the I-151 cards in order to avoid confusion over employment rights and entitlement benefits, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), for those lawful permanent residents who either have not yet applied for the new card or are awaiting receipt of the document. USCIS requests that workers urge noncitizen recipients to apply for the new I-551 Permanent Resident Card as soon as possible. Individuals seeking to replace their Permanent Resident Cards may be referred to the USCIS toll-free number, (800) 755-0777, for information on how and where to apply for the new card.

15.2.3.E I-210 Voluntary Departure “Voluntary Departure” is a status that allows a noncitizen to remain in the U.S. for either a specific or an indefinite period of time. The period of time given for voluntary departure varies. Voluntary departure can be granted by the USCIS before deportation proceedings have begun or by an Immigration Judge during deportation proceedings. A person who has been granted voluntary departure may be eligible for employment authorization.
