Yes, and at first it will be automated but you will be connected to a tier 1 agent after giving some info. Keep at it until they resend it! Don't over explained either, just I need my green card to be remailed, USPS sent it back in error is enough.

I've been through this process and the only thing that helped was contacting USCIS via online chat every. single. day. until one of the agents put in a resend request and that was taken immediately to processing. I got the card only days after that but it took around two to three weeks of incessant contact because most agents wouldn't do anything or refuse do it until they received the green card back. My green card was lost by USPS and never returned to USCIS so I knew I couldn't wait for it to ask a request. Rooting for your green card to be delivered soon!

@CaseyBorne88 the link is here.

Try to get the 48 months extension like OldUser mentioned above, you should have received one by now that would solve all issues. Getting an ADIT stamp can be difficult so start trying for it soon. 75 out of the country is fine, very few I-751 are denied anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm gonna have to say this is a mistake - you have to pass the civics test to be approved, there is no way you can not have an interview. Make sure you don't already have an interview date checking online maybe. But even if you don't, hopefully is coming soon! Do you have a 4 year extension on your conditional green card? They might really not send you a 10 year one with this mistake on their part...

I can't comment on dealing with losing a citizenship or how Japan will handle your situation but I can try to answer other questions: Naturalization is taking around a year, sometimes way less than that - look for your field office here on forums and you can have an estimate. You can live wherever you want as a US citizen, just remember to file taxes appropriately. You can leave the US as soon as you get your oath and your US passport done.

I have everything I have sent so far in paper copies and also scanned into PDFs. I intend to make a nice party throwing all the paper away the second I get my US passport but I will keep the PDFs around for a just in case situation. Congrats on being done with USCIS!

ROC is averaging to almost three years now. Don't expect movement anytime soon, unfortunately. Maybe around the one year mark... And if you plan to file for citizenship, do so as soon as you are eligible.

This is very interesting, I don't know if they are just not checking dates or if for naturalizations they don't care about the timelines anymore. Huh...

Did you file for citizenship as soon as you were eligible, meaning early in the 90 day window before 3 years of being a permanent resident?

Please update when you get an oath date, I am curious to know how they will handle your timeline for citizenship.

Visa journey dates are self reported and do not reflect actual USCIS processing times. Also USCIS does not work in order. You can check processing times on the USCIS website for an estimate - please fill your timeline so we can help you better.

Your window should open around January 2024, do look at the link MikeE posted.

San Diego office has 18 months as processing time for N-600, so you could start by talking to USCIS then your congress representative to get a resolution on your case. I don't believe you can choose your local office, it is based on where you live plus what USCIS can handle at certain locations, so sometimes you end up with not the closest one to you if there's more than one. You can look at processing times for in the USCIS website.

Oof. Hope it turns out alright for you, just keep in mind that it might have been unnecessary and potentially not legal "Reverification is never required for U.S. citizens or noncitizen nationals. Reverification is also never required when the following documents expire: U.S. passports, U.S. passport cards, Form I-551 (Alien Registration Receipt Cards/Permanent Resident Cards, which are also known as Green Cards), and List B documents." https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/handbook-for-employers-m-274/50-completing-section-3-of-form-i-9/51-reverifying-employment-authorization-for-current-employees

You can apply for citizenship while your I-751 is pending, just find out when you're eligible to do so and file away. It is extremely common now to have both processes run in parallel.

You don't need to do anything if you already have a job. Your status hasn't changed. That's it, it's that simple! You only need to show documents when you're about to take a new job, after the first time your employer cannot ask for documentation anymore. They might try it, but then you can point them to the USCIS regulation that explicitly says it is not legal to do so. Is anyone from your job asking for things? Otherwise you don't need to notify them of any immigration processes.

If you already are at a job they are not allowed to request proof, which is another good thing to keep in the wallet. USCIS instructions for reverification and also the I-9 procedures can help clarify what they can or cannot ask of you. The SSA instructions that OldUser mentioned are also good.

I-751 take forever and cost money. But you(OP) could be totally fine with it, and wish to reunite early with family is very understandable. I want to expand on this quote above: In my experience the issues are all the friction you will create by having an expired green card + extension letter. If you lose it, it's ADIT stamps which even now are hard to get and may prevent you from traveling. New bank account manager doesn't know what to do with your letter. DMV takes two trips because they refuse it on the first one. HR thinks you should have a non expired green card. All of these examples are personal. It adds up stress on top of dealing with USCIS. So it might be something to consider, it's not just extra fees or USCIS issues, it's the situation as a whole.

You're still in status and authorized to work, however until you get the extension letter from your I-751 submission (should be in a couple of weeks, together with NOA) you won't have proof of it. So unless you're changing jobs right now, you're fine. After you get your extension letter go renew your state ID and get a new SSN, it's better to have more than one way of proving you can work. Most people do not know how to deal with an expired green card so this will make your life easier.

You need to listen to the advice people are giving you. You have status. Getting the adit stamp will allow you to leave and come back. Read the links provided. Nothing can be changed the way you were told, there's more to know about your case, go find it. Unless you want to just leave, give up and start from zero. Then no advice will help you. You keep saying you can't work. Are you working right now, didn't you already have a job? Did you just stop going to work after a phone call?

You have status. There's something wrong here - either your case has been denied and you haven't received your letter yet or there was a glitch on your process or the person you talked on the phone gave you wrong info. Do not leave the country but I wouldn't stop until I found more about what's going on with my case. The one person on the phone is not the final answer here.

Who told you this? Was it a USCIS letter? This is not standard procedure. Who is they? This is not normal. Your status as permanent resident has not been affected in anyway because you do not have a plastic green card with you. You remain a LPR but need to get a new green card by filing an I-90

I don't think any ROC is getting much attention before filing for citizenship these days... I'm at Texas (SRC) and nothing besides the extension letter.

Seems like they want the same info but updated since it's been two years from receiving your package. Your timeline says 2022 but the post says 2021, either way things are somewhat out of date. Sometimes the petition gets approved after a RFE like this, sometimes you have to wait for the N400 interview to get an answer.
