Hello everyone, I don't know if I'm on a right forum. Anyway, my backpack was stolen yesterday my wallet, credit cards and most importantly my green card visa. I have 10yr visa and planning this year to apply US citizen. Please can anyone tell me what to do? Where to go to report stolen greencard? How to get a new greencard? And where to get it. 

 

Thank you for reading. Please help.

You will need to use I90 to apply for a replacement. With the receipt for that you will be fine to apply for naturalisation when it is time

0. Do not use word "visa" when talking to anybody about green card (GC), especially when you talk to police, officials or USCIS. You're a permanent resident and do not need a visa to enter US.

1. File a police report

2. File I-90

3. You can get an I-551 stamp in passport by arranging Infopass when you have I-90 receipt

4. No problem naturalizing even if you don't have a physical GC

5. Call all the banks and lock the cards, report them stolen. 

6. Do not leave the US until you have a replacement GC or valid I-551 stamp. Or, if you naturalize, without US passport.

Just to add to the above - current processing times for I-90 are showing 28.5 months so you will in all likelihood be a citizen before you ever see that replacement card, but you still need to file the I-90 (and pay the $540 fee...) to have proof of status.

That's true. On today's Jim Hacking show I also heard about some unbelievable timeline. Somebody got message "card being produced" a day after filing I-90 !
