Ok, So I am freaking out. I have either misplaced my wallet or my toddler son has placed it somewhere I cant find it. I hope its the latter.

Anyway. I have my biometrics on the 30th of January and if I dont have my greencard what am I going to do?? can i take a photocopy?

should I call USCIS?

thanks in advance

Jon

I won't put any government docs in my wallet except my state driving license. Have you filed a police report before your biometrics appointment?

The rest of the usual suspects may soon show up and try to admonish you for following the law by carrying your green card with you at all times. Ignore them.

You can try with a photocopy, if you have one of both sides of the card. However, I'd call USCIS promptly and insist on being escalated to speak with an actual immigration officer. Avoid letting the front-line customer-disservice know-nothings put you off -- they're required to escalate your call when you so request.

My wife's purse is too heavy for our toddler to manipulate, but he has made two TV remotes disappear. Let's hope that your card turns up.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

t-bone is right. call uscis a.s.a.p and also bring a copy of your greencard. however, your copy has to have the front and back of your greencard. also, like t-bone had said, always carry your greencard with you, it's the law. also, go to the uscis website and go to the link for renew and lost greencard. also, don't forget to call uscis. good luck to you.

Contrary to the popular belief, GC is not required when you go to the biometric appointment. You can show your passport or your Driver License (although latter is probably missing too).

Jon,

should the Green Card surface again, put it in a locked firesafe box and put that in a locked steel cabinet in a locked room of your house or wherever you would keep a loaded gun, the $10K emergency cash, or the diamond necklace you inherited from your great-grandmother. Take it out again when your are heading to the airport to catch your international flight. Once you have arrived at your destination, put it in the hotel safe and don't take it out again until you are heading back to the airport.

If you like to carry it around with you, be prepared to pay $450 every time you lose or misplace 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.
