ROC without physically having Green Card

[ollywarren1 1]

Hey all, just a quick one.

I recently had my green card stolen! nightmare. This is the situation, which i am going to discuss with the USCIS also, but was hoping to get some more info here.

I am due to remove conditions (approaching the 90 day window) on my 2 year green card, and part of the evidence they require with the form is a front and back copy of the green card... like I have already said, my green card was stolen. I do have a front copy of the green card, but no back copy.

My questions is, is there a way around this, because the sonly option seems to be would be to replace my stolen green card, take copies and file to remove conditions...however, it could take a long time to receive the replacement green card, and there is no guarantee it will arrive in time for me to remove the conditions!

Really dont know what to do with this one! any help would be great!

cheers,

Olly

oh no! I'm so sorry that it was stolen! I would think you should have reported it missing/stolen the moment you noticed it was gone. I can't imagine how you can get around not applying for a replacement one. Only because that is technically the only documentation they want to prove you are in this country legally. You need that card to apply or do anything here. Plus you would need it just to travel out of the country if necessary. Perhaps if you apply for the replacement and then research it on the USCIS or call them to see if they will take a copy of the application of replacing the card as proof. I'm sure you weren't the first one to ask that or even the last one to have their greencard stolen or misplaced.

Good luck with that!

Hi olly,

Have you resolved this? I am in the same situation, my green card was lost / stolen yesterday, and we are due to start ROF on 15th August (90 days). Although a month away, I am lost as to what to do and by the look of things the replacement service will take too long.

Tomorrow i plan to go to the police station and report it as missing, and see if i can get formal report, and then make an appointment with infopass and discuss with an officer at the USCIS.

Can anyone else offer advice? help needed, am i doing the right thing.

Do you have a police report about the stolen GC? If not, get to the police station and file a report, get a copy, and make an INFOpass appointment. At the appoitment take the copy of the front of your GC, the police report, and a completed I-90 form with the application fee and mention that you are approaching the window for filing ROC. This is one reason I made a copy of my wife's GC front and back so I could submit ROC without worrying about having the actual GC.

Good luck,

Dave
