Found my lost GC (after applying for I-90) - Can I still travel?

[Gabriella T 0]

Hi there! I wanted to see if anyone who has been in the same situation as me can help: 

 

The USPS lost my Green Card over the summer during delivery (that's a whole other story..), and I ended up having to apply for an I-90 Replacement Card. However, the USPS finally redelivered my GC back to me last month, and I have it on hand now. I've submitted a withdrawal request on my I-90 to the USCIS, and they sent me back a letter to confirm receipt. 

 

My question is - now that I have my original GC on hand, can I still use it to travel? I called the USCIS, and they said only a Tier 2 officer can confirm if my original GC is back to "active" since it was previously flagged for being lost (which makes sense since I applied for the I-90 for a replacement card before). I'm still waiting for them to call me back so we shall see. But I wanted to ask if anyone here has been in a similar situation and if they were able to leave the US, and come back with no issues. 

 

Grateful for anyone's help! Thanks.

Yes, you may use the GC for re-entry into the US until the expiry date listed on the card.

You can use it board a flight. I don’t know whether  the CBP officer wilk take from you  when you return and/or make you file I-193 and pay the fee.
