Hi all,

 

My Wife and filed out I-751 to remove the two year condition.  We received the NO1 approval notice for 1 year extension on the green card.  We are currently waiting for the updated green card/interview (if the deem necessary).   

 

The issue is that my wife lost her foreign passport (Cambodia) with the entry stamp etc...

 

I am not sure how we would go about issue since her passport is foreign and the process to getting a new passport with the necessary entry stamps.  

 

Please share your thoughts or opinion.  

 

Thank you you so much.

My thoughts:

Step 1: Immediately contact the Cambodia ebbassy and get her a new passport

Step 2: Get an infopass appointment and take her new passport, her GC (if you have it), and the extension letter.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

So she has a green card and the extension letter- correct? And you're asking about entry stamps into the US? Those aren't important since she has her GC and the related extension letter. Also, DHS/CBP has all her entry info anyway since everything is electronic these days.

 

I don't know what the Cambodian consulate requires to get a new passport. The Cambodian embassy website probably has that info.

I am pretty sure you can get a new passport at the embassy asap. That should be your first step. Second, you can contact immigration about a lost passport with information, I'm assuming you also have an entry card. If she has a greencard she doesn't need that though. Just the new passport.

I agree....not really needed at this time.

Just a note that this is NOT a green card renewal. It is a removal of conditions.  They are NOT the same thing.  Both her status AND her card expire.  Once conditions remove, status does not expire.  Only the green card does.  The lost passport is not an issue in removal of conditions. If you haven't already, it is best to make copies or scans of relevant passport pages, when new stamps are present.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

Thank you you so much.

 

 

 

Firstly, you don't need the entry stamps in the passport. However, i would most certainly report the passport lost and follow the relevant guidelines regarding this and how to acquire a new passport. 

 

Your wife is still in status with her expired GC and extension letter.  However,  if she needs a 155i for whatever reason and due to long processing times she can actually obtain one without the said passport.  They can put an 155i onto a card instead of into a passport, she would simply take two passport photos along to the info pass with her.   This is NOT an entry stamp, the entry stamp is not relevant at this stage of the journey.

Removal of Conditions..  TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK

 

Time to reset the tick tock clock again.   Roll my eyes.

 

GC  Conditional date:  05/26/2015

N400.  Application:      02/28/2018       

Biometrics:                    02/22/2018

 

Waiting............    Roll my eyes again :(

 

USA citizen as of 25th of July 2018. :)
