Hello!

I was hoping someone could help me concerning the withdrawal of my I-90 Application to Replace my permanent resident card. For various reasons, my husband (a U.S. Citizen) and I have decided to go back to my native country after being in the U.S. for just over three years. I had filed for my I-90 replacement card in October 2019 and then withdrew my application by mail on March 1, 2020. I mailed it to: 

Potomac Service Center

2200 Potomac Center Drive Stop 2425

Arlington, VA 20598-2425

I included my email, phone and street address, but I have not heard anything back. Do they usually acknowledge this letter in some way as they do with other forms submitted? Does anyone know how long it might take to hear anything. I am a little concerned because we left the U.S. a few days after mailing the Withdrawal Request and now with the Covid-19 issue we have not been back to the U.S. and probably won't be for several more weeks since our flight was cancelled. I have had someone checking our mail and nothing has arrived.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

My two year green card was issued 10/2/17 and expired 10/2/19.  At the time, I had planned to stay and had a job.

If I-90 was filed then it would eventually be denied with or without your withdrawal request. The correct form for Removal of Conditions is I-751.

I-90 replacement card

Sounds like the original card was lost or stolen.

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01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.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

Even in that case, filing I-90 for replacement of 2 year GC that was expired is futile. The 2 year GC expired on 10/02/2019 and the I-90 was filed in the same month.

My apologies, you are right, I meant to say I-751 Removal of Conditions is what I filed in October and requested to be withdrawn before we left the U.S. in March. I am so sorry for the confusion on my part. I don't know why I had I-90 Replacement in my head. Thank you for mentioning the I-751 since it jogged my memory. 

With that said, do you think I should I have heard from them by now?

Probably. Does checking the status online show something? https://myaccount.uscis.gov

 

A different option is to file Form I-407 by mail: https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-will-no-longer-accept-i-407-international-field-offices I don't know if they send out a confirmation that they processed the I-407. There is no fee to file the I-407.

It doesn't show anything online that they received it and that's what got me worried to, that maybe it got lost in the mail. I will have to wait until we are back to file again, but I will use the Form I-407 next time. I had just printed a letter with my request before. Perhaps it must always be done on Form I-407 and that might be another reason I didn't hear back?

Well, thank you so much for your help and for your patience with me.
