Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / October 2006Lost my Green Card
Hi everyone... I lost my wallet on Monday... Forgetting the credit and debit cards I had in there, and wedding photos, membership cards, my driving license and Canadian Citizenship card, it also had my Green Card in it..... :o( Can anyone give me a quick answer as to how bad this is? Is it going to be a nightmare to get a replacment Green Card? How long does it take? Also, I am supposed to be going home in a couple weekends back to Blighty. I do have the stamp in my passport that they gave me a few months back at the time of the AOS interview - will this stamp suffice to travel with? Am I going to be ok if I don't have the actual Green Card? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you. Matt > Hi everyone... > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Matt Hi Matt, You need to file an I-90 for replacement green card. http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i- 90.htm From what I know, it can take up to a year to get the actual replacement, but you are OK to travel on the stamp in your passport, and can keep getting the stamp until your new card arrives. Best Wishes, Rene > Hi Matt, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Best Wishes, > Rene A year....? Holy smokes. Thanks Rene. > A year....? Holy smokes. > > Thanks Rene. Did you take a copy of it? I've read plenty of times it's handy to have a copy but can't remember why. Maybe this is the case when it's handy? In any case the stamp should be good to go. Sir having regard to all the circumstances here of your case and mindful that you were welcome with open arms to walk on the great soli that is composed the United States of America otherwise known as USA how on earth can you justify losing your Green card. thi sis not an offence but it is careless in th extreme. I advise carry a copy card not witstanding the legal dicta on the said matter as enumerated in the various statutes and regulations pertaining thereto. Let this be a sober lesson for all and take proprt precautions so as to not be in a position as having not in one's possession the so called "Green Card". Get the replacemnet and try not to lose it by placing same in a secure and safe place withing the regions of your memory and carry a copy thereof. Be prepared at all times to produce the original thereof without delay upon any lawful request to so do. Heed this pro bono advice as one should never lose one's valuable papers et al.

It has been discussed numerous times on this forum that you must carry your original GC with you at all times. Have you never lost any personal possession??? It happens to everyone! Rene > Sir > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > > -- > > Posted via http://britishexpats.com Absolutely precious! Bad legal advice given in the form of broken legalese! Made my day! Julia .... please realize that you are the one that is not playing within the rules here. As a permanent resident, you are obligated to carry that card with you at all times. That information was sent with the card you received. When I received mine I thought the same thing as you (!!! I paid more than $400 for this thing and I have to carry it with me now !!!!), but it is a mandatory legal requirement. As far as losing the wallet, I hate it when that happens ! > Julia .... please realize that you are the one that is not playing > within the rules here.

Waste of time debating with Julia. 2. There was a very long post on this subject and I do not want to go over it again, I will just say that nobody who contributed carries it with them at all times, you would need to have it on a chain around your neck. So it is just a question of whether you have it with you most of the time or some of the time. 3. Like may things in life it is all a question of risk, the OP will now be in breach for a year or so. So how do you comply if you lose it? At least if you have it somewhere safe you can get it. > [QUOTE=Salinator]Julia .... please realize that you are the one that > is not playing [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > now be in breach for a year or so. So how do you comply if you lose > it? At least if you have it somewhere safe you can get it. 1. Agreed 100% 2. Remember seeing some very disgusting/lude comments. I would imagine carrying it at most reasonable times, such as leaving the house. As you say, it is a matter of risk. 3. You comply by having proof that you submitted I90 of course. Carry a copy of the receipt of that as well as a copy of your old GC that you kept in your safe etc. > 1. Agreed 100% > 2. Remember seeing some very disgusting/lude comments.

I did not think that was an option, may look it up sometime. Photocopy also is not legally acceptable, I do have one as it probably would work. > 3.

Yes, know what you mean but that is the best you have...maybe also a police report that it was stolen ... you can only do as much as you can do. Perhaps one could get a stamp and carry the passport with you. > Yes, know what you mean but that is the best you have...maybe also a > police report that it was stolen ... you can only do as much as you > can do.

We are waiting for another card to be sent to us I filed about a month ago. We need to travel near the end of the year. Her current stamp is expired. How long does it take to get an appointment to get a new stamp? Is it complicated? Thanks. > Hi, how can I get a new stamp for my wife?

Go to www.uscis.gov and make an Infopass appointment at your local office. I think they make appointments for following 2 weeks. Bring in all the proof that shows you qualify for a new stamp, and mention that you're intending to travel soon. Best Wishes, Rene > Hi everyone... > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Matt Check out the requirements. Believe you need to report the lost of your wallet to the police department and have that report to accompany your I-90. SignatureI'm not an attorney.

Mr. Pink's stamp expired six months after his AOS interview, but he had the card within about two weeks after the interview so it didn't matter. Is your stamp still good? If not, make an infopass appt. for another stamp. ~SecretGarden > It depends on the date of expiration of the stamp.

I beleive our card would have expired this up coming Februrary. So I have the I751 Application filled out except for the part that asks for the expiration date of the green card. So hopefully they can give us a new stamp so she can travel and then help with what date I put in on the 751 application. > I have made an appointment.

It is always best to make a copy of the card and place it in a safe place for future use. SignatureI'm not an attorney. This disclaimer is valid in NYS! > I have made an appointment.

They will be looking you up in the computer anyway. |
