I-90 Applicants Club

[LA80 3]

Hello everybody,

I sent the I-90 application together with my incorrect GC a bit over two months ago. Well, I know it is still early to expect anything, but yes I am tired of waiting. Once you obtain the visa, you think all the troubles are gone, but there is always a possibility that you get a GC with incorrect information or that your GC is eaten by your mailbox. And then, here we go again. Wait for a few more months asking yourself if you did everything right, if you sent proper documents, if they would accept the international version of documents, whether they need to be certified photocopies or not...I will not even mention the fee.

I open this topic for all those with I-90 status received and pending in 2009 (an possibly 2008). It is always easier when you talk to someone who is in the same boat and see that people get approved eventually. Stories with a happy ending are more than welcome.

From USCIS site:

USCIS Revises Filing Instructions and Direct Mail Program for the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Form I-90)

WASHINGTON — U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) published a Federal Register notice on April 28, 2009 that changed the filing location and filing instructions for the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Form I-90). The revised filing instructions require applicants to submit supporting documentation with their applications. Prior to this change, applicants were instructed to bring their supporting documentation to their biometrics appointments. The notice also revises the Direct Mail address for the Form I-90. Applicants must now file their Form I-90 and supporting documentation with the USCIS Lockbox facility in Phoenix.

This change in filing location affects all I-90 applicants filing a paper form, including those applicants filing the I-90 because their previously issued card was never received or because their existing card has incorrect data due to a USCIS error. This notice does not affect applicants filing an I-90 electronically or whose place of residence is outside the United States.

Beginning on April 27, 2009, applicants must submit their Form I-90 and supporting documentation to the USCIS Lockbox facility in Phoenix for initial processing, using the following addresses:

USCIS

P.O. Box 21262

Phoenix, AZ 85036

For USPS Express Mail and Courier Service deliveries, use the following address:

USCIS

ATTN: I-90

1820 Skyharbor Circle S Floor 1

Phoenix. AZ 85034

Questions...Do you think that this will speed up the process and do you think it gonna affect pending applications? I am getting really paranoid about it.
