Missing green card. Filing I-751 soon. Need advice

[cymbalseatguitars 24]

Hello everyone 

 

I’d really like some advice on this. I was granted my provisional green card in Feb 2021, so it’s nearly time to submit my I-751. 
 

In May of 2021, my wife managed to lose my green card (it was in my wallet, which she’d borrowed to go to the store). I immediately filed for a replacement green card, which has been pending since June 2021.

 

I’m a little nervous about what this bodes for my I-751 filing, which I know a green card is absolutely necessary for. I have a photo of the front of the green card (not the back, tragically), and I have an I-551 stamp in my passport. Would pictures of these be sufficient? Does anyone else have experience of this?

 

thanks in advance!

Hopefully you kept your I-90 receipt. That’s what you’ll need.

I would provide copies of the photo of the front of the missing green card, the i-90 receipt notice, the i551 stamp, and the police report of the missing card. An explanation in the cover letter indicating your green card was lost. Just file within the 90 day window for the joint i751 application filing (the expiration date on the conditional green card).
