Guys - USCIS approved my green card, and USPS says they delivered the GREEN CARD in the Mailbox on last Friday (9th Oct) but I never got it. There were mail but no GREEN CARD. I called USPS and logged a complaint and they say they would take another 3 business days to resolve it.

 

I called USCIS and they said I will have to file another I-90 form for lost/replacement green card. What should I do? What are my options?

Do you have informed delivery from USPS?  What type of mailbox is it? (private residence, PO Box etc).

 

The USPS is facing some service issues at the moment.  Honestly, I would give it a few more days....

@Jorgedig - thank you for a super quick response.

 

I am new to the US, don't know the different type of Mailboxes. It's the mailbox of a physical address in Houston (a house). The USPS tracking number says it's delivered at 12:59PM on Friday, but the first message said they will deliver it on Tuesday (which is today), but after that the message came that they delivered on last Friday itself. 

 

And yes, I do have an informed delivery from USPS, and their also it shows that it was delivered at the above time.

 

I lodged a complained with USPS at 5PM Friday.

So wait and see what happens.  If it doesn't come in the next week or so, file an I-90.

 I know a lot of people on my neighborhood social media forums that say they get delivery confirmations from USPS (packages with tracking) and it isn’t delivered. It shows up within a few days. You could also ask some of the neighbors if they got it at their house. If the mail is delivered to the actual house by a walking or driving mailman, then watch for him to come and talk to him. Show him the scan from informed delivery of what you are missing. Ask if he remembers it.

Is there a way to GPS track the package to know where it is? It is frustrating for 2 reasons, first I'll have to file I-90 again so another wait for a few months and then paying $540 for something which ISNT MY FAULT. Over the top of that, what if USPS messes up again?

 

I'll wait for 7-10 days before filing again, but your inputs or suggestions would help

That's a question for USPS...

I don't think any usps package is GPS trackable,  it would be cool if it was.

Update - I received my GC yesterday. It was tough, USPS first told that their investigation says that my Mailbox was vandalised and documents were stolen and I will have to apply for I-90 again with USCIS. I had to speak to multiple supervisors and send multiple mails; had to push a lot and make a lot of phone calls to USPS to get things. Finally a supervisor went out on feet and found out that the packet was in some other mailbox. She opened it to find it was the right packet and then hand delivered it to my address. Phew, finally got my GC...

Wow, that was some specialized service.

Guys - I need your inputs on something critical I am filing. I received the green card which is of type CR1 (2 years), however my case is as below

 

1. Date of Marriage = 17th Dec 2017

2. Date of Entry in the US = 23rd Dec 2019 (2 Years and 6 Days after marriage)

 

Basis the above, I should have been issued an IR1 and not CR1. But USCIS erroneously issued me CR1.

 

Now I have to do the below - 

 

1. File I-90 (without fee)

2. Attach Marriage Certificate Copy

3. Attach a letter explaining the mistake

 

Send this packet to USCIS address in Phoenix, Arizona for their review and request them to make changes to the USCIS error.

 

Question - Can I file Form I-90 "ONLINE" without fee or it has to be an "OFFLINE" form? Asking as tracking an online form is really easy with the myaccount section of USCIS. I am not sure if I file online then if its designed to accept without fee. And I don't want to create another case by starting the form. 

 

I found some information in the below link but this has been marked as ARCHIVE and states this document could be out of date.

Looking forward for your responses.

Here is what I've seen before.

 

First get your driver's licence or state ID so you have something you can use for a job ID.

 

Then file the paper I-90.  You shouldn't need to include the marriage certificate.  It is in your A File.  You have to surrender the wrong green card

@Karan Mehta  I know nothing about I-90 filing, but thanks for asking. 🙂

When I had to replace my EAD because my name was wrong, they requested me to send everything again related to my name: passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, even though they already had everything.

 

So it's always good to send it and not assume they have it already.
