Lost green card - questions on filing I-90 online

[iamanamericanwife 0]

For context: my husband's 10-yr GC is expiring in June and the actual GC was also lost (we have a police report). He is eligible for N-400. We are moving in June from CA to FL. He will also need a new DL (the CA DL is also expiring the same day of the GC). We are planning on traveling in July-Aug outside of US.

 

It seems that we cannot just apply for N-400. We are filing the I-90 online so he will be able to get an I-553 stamp.

 

Some questions about the I-90 online application:

 

1 - Class of admission. Since the GC is lost we cannot verify there. The 2 years GC had CR6 so I think the lost GC had IR6. What should we do? Do we need to put some extra effort to find out for sure or is it good enough to guess IR6?

 

2 - "Where did you apply for your immigrant visa or adjustment of status?".

Is "USCIS California Service center" good enough?

 

3 - "Where was your immigrant visa or adjustment of status granted?".

Where do we find this info? The card arrived attach on a card that we still have that has his A number and card number. It says "USCIS National Customer Service Center". Is it what we need to put here?

 

4 - There are 2 steps asking for a picture ID: the GC (both sides) and a generic photo ID. Can we use his DL for both and upload the the picture of the DL twice?

 

5 - Since we are moving, doI we need to be concern about something except update our location after we move?

 

Thank you in advance!

1. Yes

2. If u have interview, put the interview location / field office 

3 same like no 2 

4. Does he have the copy of his GC ? My rule of thumb is everytime I got EAD or GC or anything important, I scan it immediately and save it on my Dropbox 

5. Moving he need to file AR-11 online and u ask his sponsor also need to file I-865

6. u can only file n-400 3 months after you move

We had an interview when we got the 2 yr green card. I do not remember the specific office. I can look. But are you saying it needs to be a specific office for 2-3 ?

We cannot find a copy. We had one at a certain point. But we like to avoid to store on the cloud to avoid possible identity theft.

Ok with the AR-11 but what about the sponsor?

We had to have my parents be co-sponsors on the 2 yr green card but not after that. We have been independent and we have our own funds and money even before getting the 10 yr green card. And I do not see anything on the I-90. Do the sponsors still play a role?

That is why we would like to start while we are still in California.

I don’t know how to help you there. Guess u should try to find out. There’s not so many field office in 1 town. I don’t see a reason for u to forgot unless it happened more than 10 years ago ?

you are The main sponsor so u are the one who need to fill I-865

I don’t think that’s the right love. U need to live in one state for at least 3 months to file. If u file while u are in california, the interview will be conduct in CA, but if u already move to FL, the officer in CA might told u to reschedule and u have to do it in FL
