Include the image you have of your GC, an explanation and the I-90 receipt notice. 

If it is rejected, they won't charge the fee and they will say why it was rejected so you would be able to file again including what's needed. 

 

Given that you have the I-90 receipt notice already, call customer service to request for a paper ADIT to be sent to your house. That will be your proof of residency. 

I have to look into a ADIT, don’t really know what that is yet. But I will definitely see if I can apply for one!

It is the official name for a temporary proof of residency. Can be a stamp on your passport or a stand alone paper with your photograph and bio info.

Call USCIS, ask for InfoPass. Sometimes you need to call them a lot. The sooner you start, the better. Say you don't have a proof of status as of today...

 

You will either get a stamp in passport or this document:

I had to file the I-90 4 months before I was eligible for the I-751, just make your packet and include the receipt for the I-90 and you should be good to go!

I’m glad I’m not the only one! Did you ever get a replacement GreenCard or did you get one of the stamps in your passport that you had proof of status?

After asking for help from my state representative I got an appointment for an ADIT stamp 3 months after filing and the actual green card 6 months after filing, right before the expiration date.

 

You might not need an appointment for the ADIT anymore as they send it over mail now in some cases.

 

Having the physical green card is extremely helpful because of the extension letter you will get with the ROC.
