In case the Green Card doesn't arrive

[dolphin1 5]

I dont understand why people get all their mail all the junk (ads... ) with it and they dont get the green cards. I really think it's a scam as they (uscis) want more money. The postal service in this country is good i think, even in Morocco where we have a crappy postal service, we still get the mail. Also, i dont understand why they make people pay 450$, why not at least 50, it's just a piece of plastic and we already paid lots of money for their labor. I sent mine to be corrected about 3 months ago and still waitting. It was just one letter missing from my name.

I would definitely write a letter to your Congressman or Senator detailing the situation and what you were forced to do under the circumstances. What you went through is definitely wrong and should not have happened. If you have the USCIS officer's name, include it, along with the date and time and location of your appointment. Ask them to investigate why a simple matter of giving your wife proof of her legal Permanent Resident status - the I-551 stamp in her passport - so she could fulfill travel obligations before her actual green card arrived in the mail - during one of the biggest mail seasons of the year - did not happen, that they forced you to file for a replacement card 10 days after the first one was issued rather than allow a reasonable amount of time to pass for it to be delivered or returned to USCIS. Her behaviour was inexcusable. Good luck.

I just wrote an email to the USCIS "Employee Misconduct" hotline. I will try that first. Honestly, I'm a little afraid to write people outside of USCIS, because it seems like if I make a stink about something, it would be very easy for someone at Immigration, if they were to be reprimanded, to fiddle with our case and cause us more problems down the line. I know maybe that's being paranoid, but our lives really are in the hands of whomever that letter gets put in front of. But yeah, I have a list of my California reps and was considering writing them and CC'ing USCIS. I will see what sort of response I get from the Misconduct office.

It's funny, today I received the notice that my payment had been processed. It arrived 2 days after it was mailed. No problems with THAT being delivered.
