GC renewal annoying little qs

[Bluelake1 2]

Hello , 

These little remaining qs bug me, completing the 10 yr renewal form. 

1. Online Number account : don’t have it

2. I recall only the state, but not the city of POE. Although I recognize the  city office from the pic online. 

 

3. Section 8 where we can add info, I think to explain the reason why: bc my papers are in a location where I can’t travel to. 

 

Would this be enough or acceptable for USCIS , or what should add?

 

Anyone with knowledge / experience who may help a bit much appreciated !!

Not needed. This is purely optional. The number is notoriously difficult to find (it's usually hidden somewhere on some physical paper notice you got from USCIS) or it's possible you don't even have one at all. Skip it if you don't know.

The stamp in your passport from whenever you originally did POE should have a three letter code, which would tell you what the city was.

Is the issue that your lost your passport? I just think putting down "unable to access passport" or "passport in another location" sounds very suspicious.

No it’s in a very safe place. It’s just far and can’t go there now, also bc covid ( traveling risk) scared to take the risk

You raised a good point, about avoiding any suspicion, why in section 8 I can add which is the truth: that I had to move and didn’t take any risks and left my papers in a safe place. Can also ad I have evidence if needed. 

And end with : all this is the truth, and all the truth, etc.

Is it possible to have someone look at the stamp and convey the information to you?

 

In general it's also not really a good idea to be without a passport when you're living in a country you don't have citizenship in. I think it's better in general for you and your passport to be reunited at some point, if it's possible.

Not possible to find someone, death in family and had to move,  my passport is expired and only have a foreign citizen Id card with me. Diff to talk about these hardships here.

Ps hardships didn't allow me to get my papers, I planed to do it much earlier but couldn’t. Pulling my hair now, if you have another illuminated idea.... otherwise I only see  explanation in section 8 or maybe I can call USCIS and ask

You will need your greencard for identification purposes when you go for biometrics. You can find your travel history by looking up your I94- I’m just not sure if you need your passport # to do that however. Additionally do you have any of your boarding passes in your email or visit the airline website that you traveled in on to find your flight history?

I'm very sorry to hear that. Don't stress just yet, there might be other ways. Check I-94 like @Luckycuds mentioned or your email history for old travel tickets. Many states do not have that many international POE's, maybe you can just use deduction to help yourself remember which it was?

I don’t  have / recall any I 94 form, I checked what it is and not sure it’s my case: I entered in US by land / car with hubby with visa from consulate in passport. And never left us since then. 

 

Passport and immigration file  is in that secure location I can’t attend. 

 

Lucky, sorry forgot to add, I do have my GC too in addition to foreign citizen Id, plus ssn, irs taxes if needed. Can these replace my amnesia and paper left  I can’t access now ( traveling ) to complete with hesitation the city of the Poe? 

 

Millefleur and lucky thanks  so much for taking your time and kind words, means a lot!

Are you filling out the I-90 in paper form or online filing?
