Hi all,

Received my new GC in the mail. Due to me not having an interview or something I still have my old but expired GC. As this is a federal document I am not sure what to do with it?

Shall I just cut it and throw it in the trash? Do I need to send it in? Or keep it as a piece of memory?

I just want to make sure I adhere to any official procedure out there.

Cheers,

Oban

You will gain unlimited gratitude and admiration from your grandchildren who in the year 2100 can show it to their children as an invaluable document of their immigrant and first generation American granny.

Keep in mind it's the only one you can keep, as the other one you will have to surrender at naturalization.

Put it with your most valuable possessions and cherish it.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

I would treat it as any outdated ID I have - destroy by shredding and/or burning.

One less thing to worry about for ID theft.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Passage Revelation 19:11:

11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

"satan is real and he's playing for keeps
God is realer and we are His sheep
which side are you on, CHOOSE, start moving your feet
choose JESUS and have ETERNAL PEACE" by GOD to me on 9/26/10 about 2am
Thank you Jesus!!!!
