Lost temporary green card

[FrankSinatra 14]

So I lost my wallet with my green card inside of it and Im wondering whats the best way to apply for a replacement. The green card came with a paper that says to speed the uscis proccess I should send that barcode with the form, is this really going to be quicker than just doing it online?

Who is eligible?
A Permanent Resident Card (USCIS Form I-551 or Green Card), is proof of your lawful permanent resident status in the United States. It also serves as a valid identification document and proof that you are authorized to live and work permanently in the United States.

• You must replace your Green Card if:
• You were issued a card valid for 10 years that has either expired or will expire within six months.
• You have a Permanent Resident Card that does not have an expiration date on it.
• Your card has been lost, stolen, or damaged.
• You were issued a card valid for 10 years before you turned 14 years old, and it will not expire before your 16th birthday.
• Your card was issued with incorrect data (name, DOB, issued date) due to USCIS administrative error.

How to Apply
In order to replace (or renew) your Green Card (Permanent Resident Card), you must:

• Complete the Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. Review the form instructions for directions on how to complete the form.
• Submit the Filing Fee(s). Include the appropriate filing fees (including the biometric services fee, if applicable).
• Submit Evidence. Include all required evidence and any supporting documentation.
• Sign and File the Form I-90. File the application at the correct filing location according to form instructions. Any application that is not signed will be rejected with a notice that the application is deficient.

 

If you want to receive an e-Notification, complete Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance and clip it to the first page of your application.

If you file online, you can see your case on your account homepage and update your settings to receive text/email updates as your case status changes.

Is it better to file online or to send the form physically attaching the barcode note that came with the green card? Does it make a difference on the process speed or not really?

I dont know, never had to do that before. You should pick one and share your experience here later.
