lost conditional green card

[Aureliaxue 10]

i lost my green card because of my dogs. they took my wallet somehow and i can't find it anywhere. i am about to divorce and file for the waiver. do i need to file for the replacement before i file for the waiver? i only have the picture of the front of my green card.

The I-751 instructions say:

"What Initial Evidence Is Required? Permanent Resident Card You must file your petition with a copy of your permanent resident card or alien registration card, and a copy of the permanent resident or alien registration cards of your conditional resident children that you are including in your petition. Submit copies of both front and back sides of the card."

You can try to submit the waiver and I-751 with a copy of only one side as soon as you have a final divorce decree.....or you can get a replacement card first, then submit the I-751 and waiver............since replacement cards take a very long time, I would probably just submit everything with only one side copied.

Ahhh. If you only had a copy of the back of the card! Are you sure you dont have a back copy lying around somewhere? 

 

The problem is you need a copy of the front and back for ROC. If you do not have the card (lost or stolen) then you need to show proof you requested a new card- which is the i90 NOA - It costs money to file the i90. (you can try to ask for a waiver but you probably have to pay). When they get the i90 and payment or i90 and approved fee waiver you will get the NOA in the mail and the NOA will satisfy the 751 for you not showing the front or back of card.

 

But your i90 will at some point be rejected because USCIS will not issue you a new card since your card is expired. You will not get your fee back. So basically ROC is going to cost you about double now. Sorry. 

 

TRY TO FIND THE WALLET! Seriously how far could the dogs have taken it? Follow them around a bit and see where they hide stuff. Finding the wallet will save you about 600 bucks.

You cannot apply for an I-90 if you're within the 90-day window for the expiration of the original card. Are you applying early with the waiver? If so, you need an I-90. If not, just apply for the I-751

In that case you have to apply for the I-90, and send in the receipt notice with your I-751 sorry
