Hello, I need some advice about my permanent resident status and my expiring green card.
My conditional gc is going to be expired in 2days but I am abroad.
I am 9month pregnant and am planning to deliver the baby in my home country as my American husband is very busy and cannot get enough support from him around the labor.
I came back to my country a week ago with my first child and just realized my gc was about to expired. I feel so stupid and desperate.

Please  PLEASE give me any ideas if you know what to do or if there is anything I can do to re-enter the US with my children....
I have not received any notices from USCIS or have not mentioned anything by officers at the departing airport....
USCIS lost my documents when I was applying my gc and took more than a year to finally receive my gc. So I received my gc very recently and I just did not think my gc would be expired this soon!!! I know this is totally my fault..

Sorry my writing is messy but I am totally upset right now....! Please help me!
 

The part in bold stood out to me. Your conditional green card was good for less than 2 years? Did it go missing in transit for a very long time before it reached you?

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

How someone that pregnant got on a plane without lying about how far along they are is beyond me.  But then not everyone was a house like me either LOL

I would try scanning the signed doc and emailing it back (and then mailing it) so you can send something  before the deadline. They will probably send it back but at least you will have proof that it

Get the form and payment in. Doesn't matter if you have to send it next day FedEx from Japan (which is very expensive but possible), via personal hand carry courier(even more expensive),  or you

USCIS honors postmarks by US post office, a minimally filled form with an attached check could fulfill the requirements and get your "place in the processing queue".

uscis does not care when you sent it they only look at when they get it.

Airlines dont let people fly after 36 weeks! Regardless of if she was in Canada or Japan, no airline would let her on a plane. 

if it was Mexico or Canada she could have gone by train car or bus which would have been fine with the pregnancy.

When USCIS raised the fees they went by the date the package was stamped by the post office, not by the date USCIS received it. Maybe it's different for ROC, I wouldn't know.

USCIS does honor USPS postmarks, as described in several USCIS processing manuals as well as referenced in court cases, like this one, for example: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/L1 - Legalization Application for Temporary Resident Status/Decisions_Issued_in_2008/Aug132008_02L1245.pdf

 

More info here: https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-11261/0-0-0-26097/0-0-0-27152.html

 

USCIS does not honor postmarks by private delivery services.
