My 10 years Green Card was lost by USPS and I changed my name

[mark90 22]

Hello,

 

After having my I-751 approved, I was sent the 10 years green card to my mail address but I have never received it. I reached out to USPS and they admitted they lost it. So frustrating!!!

 

After a month or so, I changed my last name for few reasons so I’ll need to update my new Green Card.

 

I know I need to file I-90 to replace my Green Card, but what reason should I enter? Card was lost or destroyed? Or legal name was changed? They both apply!! And will the fee be waived since the GC was lost? I’m not sure what to do.

 

 Thanks!!

I would prioritize   getting the gc replaced in the old name.

Because you did change your name and will need the card issued in your new legal name, just file I-90 for name change reason and pay the fee. You can indicate your original card was lost/ stolen and never received . 
Fastest route is to file online and some one on this forum recently posted getting card in less than 3 weeks. 
You can also get an InfoPass and go get your passport stamped ( I-551) so you have a worry free year traveling. 
IF you qualify for N-400 now, skip the I-90: and file citizenship
