Did not receive green card!!

[MaryJ 7]

So my husband was approved for his removal of conditions, we have received every notice the USCIS ever sent, all of a sudden they say they mailed the green card and we never received that. So now we had to apply for a replacement, how long does that take,  cause we need to travel out the country in August.

Unless you are talking August 2022, your husband isn't getting the replacement card for that travel. After he files for i90, he can make an infopass appointment with i90 receipt and passport and get the i551 stamp. That will serve like a GC for one year and so can travel.

Your husband calls 800-375-5283 Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm Eastern.

 

They may tell you that you'll get a call back from Tier 2 within 14 business days. The call back would be from 202-838-2200.

Did you receive the tracking number for the card?

[MaryJ 7]

Yes they say it was delivered in March but we didn't get it.

Looking at your timeline, the 2 year green card expired August 2020.  You should have received an extension letter that extends the card through February 2022.  
 

So worst case you can travel in August  2021 on that.  Might get a bit of a tongue lashing from CBP on entry, but you can mitigate that by filing I-90 now to replace the green card that was lost in the mail, and even better getting an I-551 stamp.  But it can be hit or miss these days on USCIS cooperating in terms of timely NOA1s and agreeing to provide I-551 stamps.

You know what I need to go check my husband's paper work. We called this morning to USCIS they gave us a number and said someone will call back in 72hrs to schedule an appointment for the I551 stamp. Praying all goes well.

Yes I saw that you have been promised a call back.  
 

I am letting you know that you have options if USCIS drops the ball. I’ve low expectations so I expect it will.  
 

I-751 receipts  grant 18 month extensions from  the date the gc expires.  Surely you knew that when you booked international travel with an expired gc

I wasn't sure this was an option after the I751 approval, but it does sound like it is OK.  Makes sense as the status hasn't expired, only the proof of status, and the expired card and valid extension letter are valid proof.

 

I agree with your expectations of USCIS.

My expectations for USCIS are so low, that if they were for hire as a juggling act, what you would get is a dude with no arms.

If you are looking for some hope, someone received GC thru i90 in 10 days.
