I need help and suggestion on this issue. I POE in September 2014, reading from posts in VJ I had thought my GC would be shipped to me in two months. So I "technically" went to sleep and didn't check the USCIS website.

Unfortunately for me, the day I checked the USCIS website one month later in October 2014, I discovered my GC was shipped already and was been returned to USCIS. I ran to the post office, but the postman said the card was returned already because my name wasn't on the mailing list of the house. This shocked me because I got my SSN and other bank cards and documents in the same house.

Now this is where my dilema is, Since October 22 up until now I haven't been able to get the USCIS to re-send the card. I had a service request generated, after 30days they replied that the card would be mailed back in 90days. This looks absurd so I bombarded them with calls like everyday, but everyone keeps saying wait 90days. The website says the card would be held for 120 days. If i add the 30days I have waited for the service request and the 90days, 120days is up.

I need suggestions please, should I make an Infopass appointment, reason why i'm worried is i don't want to end up paying 450USD again to have a new GC made.

Please I need suggestions.

What a bummer. It certainly can't hurt for you to set an InfoPass appointment. Let us know what happens.

For others who are reading this, this is a reminder to be sure to have your name on or inside your mailbox, and to notify your local Post Office ahead of time that you're located at your mailing address. If you can touch base with your mail-carrier in person, that's another plus.

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01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.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

i have good news, so after countless calls and prayers and fasting, our darling USCIS finally delivered my green card after 7months since it was returned to them as undeliverable by the post office.

i called almost everyday.....made an infopass appointment and that didn't help too, but I have my green card in hand now.

p.s. i travelled out of the country every 3weeks with the stamp on my visa and i didn't have any issue except one time the customs officer told me because i still had a CR1 visa they had to stop me to check.........
