Lost Green Card, pending I-750

[maza318 32]

My husband recently lost his green card, which is expired (we have the extension letters). We submitted for the removal of conditions back in March 2021 and our case status has been showing “Case is Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview” since December 16, 2021. We also have a pending N-400 application. 
 

2 questions:

1. Is it worth requesting a replacement green card given that his green card was expired and we are waiting for a new GC anyways once conditions have been removed? 
2. is it normal that it’s taking so long to schedule the interview for removal of conditions? 
 

Thanks!

2.  We filed my wife's case in March 2019.  Status has been ready to be scheduled for an interview since May 2019.........still waiting.

No. 

Filing an i-90 - as many would suggest - is a waste of time & money, and they will not replace it. It even states this on the i-90 form itself, that it is not to be used if a 2 year card is within 90 days of expiry.

Yes. Because USCIS.

We filed my wife's I-751 in May 2019 and waiting for Interview since September 2019 about 3 years wait.

Thank you all for your responses. That’s an awfully long time to process the I-751. 
 

What are your suggestions for what to do in the meantime if my husband needs to travel? We have the extension paperwork but I believe those are only valid with the expired green card in hand.

You can't ask for conditional GC post it's expiry so i90 is not an option. May be schedule an info pass appointment where they may be provide an ADIT stamp.

Call USCIS, say info pass, request an appointment at your local FO for an ADIT stamp.

ADIT stamp.  Back in September, my wife had a stamp in her passport within 24 hours of my first call to USCIS to make the infopass appointment.  Your miles may vary.....

They won't issue another card, they will make a stamp in the passport at a field office.

Problem with the stamp is I can't use Global Entry with it.

I have used my passport after my permanent resident card expired at the global entry kiosk multiple times with no problems.

If you have the card, yes. I only have the stamp.
