Issued in 1929 in Bucharest, Romania, this is our Great-Grandmother Maria Stoss's Immigrant Identification Card.
Her signature appears in two places - once on the card and again on the photo which is stapled to the card.
After 1928, all immigrants admitted with a visa were issued an Immigrant Identification Card with a photograph of the immigrant. The scan of the reverse side more closely captured the true color of the card.

Priceless piece of treasure
I've never seen a card like that before. I'm sure the photo is an added bonus in your research.
