Lost green card

[educator_71 22]

My wife’s green card was lost in our recent house fire. I believe we have to file an i 90 form. My question is this. Since she’s eligible to file for citizenship does she still the green card and if so what’s the cost. With everything going on in our lives now we have to deal with this issue. But it’s all good because my wife and son made it out ok. Thank you for the help.

Thank goodness y'all are safe! You will need the green card for naturalization, however, I would add it on the insurance claim for reimbursement. It's about $500 to replace.

I'm sorry to hear that but glad your family members are safe. I would call USCIS and explain the situation. Most likely she will need the GC as USCIS requests it to be surrendered at the oath ceremony during naturalization. Most likely she will need to get the new GC but maybe for humanitarian reasons they could waive the fee. Looking into an insurance claim is also a good idea.
