Going to college while I90 in progress

[New display name 2]

Wife received 10 year green card instead of 2 and filed I90 to correct it, she still has the erroneous green card in possession because I90 was filed online. Is is ok to use that for applying to college applications. The college she wants to go to requires a copy of the green card with the application. Is it acceptable to use this green card she has in possession?

Several will tell you it is not acceptable.  
 

imho it is acceptable 

 

* she didn’t ask for 10 year gc 

 

* the benefit she is seeking applies whether she has a 10 year card, 2 year card, or no card: she is an LPR

 

* USCIS refuses to schedule appointments for I-551 stamps 

 

I think she should get full use from that card, whether using it showing evidence of authorized presence to attend school,  in state tuition, get an unrestricted SS card, a job, a mortgage, REAL ID, travel, visa waiver to Canada, Mexico, DR, etc.  I would not use the card to get global entry.  I would use the card at a normal kiosk a US port of entry (and some kiosks just use facial recognition).  

 

What she should not do is pretend to be anything else than what she is: a conditional LPR. And so 90 days before  the 2 year anniversary of her “resident since” date she should file I-751 to begin her Kafka-esque nightmare.  So she should enjoy these 2 years of bliss while she can.  
 

My prediction  is that I-90 will never be adjudicated.  Hopefully because if they start off by forcing her to send in her 10 year green card, the nightmare begins.

I think it is OK to use for that.

It's recommended to consult with the college or an immigration lawyer to confirm if it's acceptable to use the erroneous green card for college applications.
