[hello jhoanna! 0]

hi! it's been a while...i posted a topic here before last oct. 2009 regarding my removal of conditions on residency application, and people here have helped me a lot, again thank u so so much! hope u guys can help me again...

so here's my problem:

i lost my wallet earlier today and inside it are my valuable documents such as my military id (yes, i'm married to someone who is in the army and we are currently stationed here in germany), my social security card and my green card. i'm worried about my social number too and i will deal with it as soon as i can. now, my green card expired last oct. 2009 and i have already submitted my application for the renewal of my card and still waiting for my new one. my question is that would i still need my old green card for the renewal of my new green card, i mean do i have to turn it in once i get my new one, or i don't have to worry about it cause they won't ask for it and i could keep it...

hope somebody could answer my question...thank u...

I am not sure if others will agree with me, but you need to inform USCIS about the lost ID. Even though it is expired, it still has your A# on it and that is risky. In addition, if lets say sometime in the future someone tries to use it (not sure how) then you will be responsible if you do not notify them of the missing ID. Oh, but to answer your question, no, you usually keep your 2 year GC as a souvenir!

you need your old green card copy for renewal of your GC, maybe you can find a copy of your old green card at home.
