OMG it's almost unbelieveble. I FINALLY received my 2 year GC today!! Only had to wait 10 months and some change for it.

I'm so glad to finally have it. But I have a question. On the back of the letter the card was attached to it said to keep the top cut-off section for when I have to replace my GC later on. Ok I can understand that part. The problem however is that the USCIS being as lazy as they are didn't bother to correct my address on the letter. All they did was put a sticker with my correct address over the wrong address at the bottom of the letter. The letter is even still dated 5/11/2007!!!

So my question is am I really supposed to save that top part and send it to them again. Thereby giving them a wrong address? Because we've just seen that something as simply as changing your mailing address seems to be extremely hard for USCIS to handle.

Quite a number of us didn't enclose the return portion of the card that came with the green card when submitting our I-751 petitions. If the address is incorrect, I wouldn't use it. If you happen to lose your green card before you file for the new, then you might want to consider using that return portion, first making sure that you correct the address. Since they have to review your file to remove conditions, I am not sure that the card portion is relevant, although I doubt including it would cause a problem - if the address is correct.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Congrats on the card. We didn't include that attachment when we filed to lift conditions on Claudeth's card. I don't think many do.
