One final update to this thread:

I had read that it would likely be months to receive my replacement green card. However, the process has been much quicker than anticipated.

September 6th: Filed form I-90 online.

September 7th: Received notification of biometric reuse in my USCIS account, and notification of the application being "actively reviewed".

September 9th: USCIS account notification that new green card is being produced.

September 14th: Notification that card has been picked up by USPS and on it's way to me.

So, 8 days from filing to card in the mail.

Thank you for the information. One follow up question about Chicago - would it still be Chicago even though the form I had filed to receive the ten year green card that I lost was form I-751?

CF1 is conditional greencard, IF1 is the non-conditional greencard. 

 

I would put IF1 as that's your current class, you're no longer CF1.

Thank you!

To the OP, good luck, and please update this thread.

Thank you. I'll be returning to the US later in the week and I'll update the thread after doing so with my experience in case anyone else comes across this in the future. In my search for information relating to this issue, I had come across some older threads on this site that I was able to get some information from - so I'll provide the final outcome here later in the week.

1. CF1 or IF1

2. The local office where you were interviewed for AOS.

3. The date of issuance on your old GC.

Your local Field Office where the I-485 interview occurred.

Yes

 

 

I hope I quoted the above correctly, if not I apologize. 

Thank you for the information.

I did my interview for my original conditional green card in Houston, TX and did not require an interview for my ten year green card.

So, would I put Houston, TX for both of these questions?:

"Where did you apply for your immigrant visa or adjustment of status?" and "Where was your immigrant visa or adjustment of status issued?"

They were two separate questions.

And I was still a bit confused on the Class of Admission. I read over the DHS link provided and I see that it says:

CF1: "Spouses, entered as fiance(e), adjustments, conditional"

IR6: "Spouses, adjustments"

I still wasn't entirely sure which one of those applies to me. With the CF1, I did enter as a fiance but don't currently have a conditional green card, and with the IR6, my card was the result of an adjustment to a ten year green card. I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into it.

And thank you for the quick responses!

Hello,

I am in the process of filling out form I-90 to replace a lost ten year green card.

I was wondering if I could get some guidance on a couple questions.

My information: Came to the US on a K1, got a conditional green card, then filed for removal of conditions and received ten year green card (the one that was lost.).

1: The form asks for class of admission. I don't have a copy of my ten year green card to see what the class says on it. From reading over the selections, I was thinking it was potentially either IF1 or IR6. Would either of these likely be correct?

2: Another question asks: 

"Where did you apply for your immigrant visa or adjustment of status? (Provide the location of the U.S. Embassy, U.S. Consulate, or USCIS office where you applied for your immigrant visa or submitted your application for permanent resident status.)"

And below that one it says:

"Where was your immigrant visa or adjustment of status issued?
Provide the location of the U.S. Embassy, U.S. Consulate, or USCIS office that issued your immigrant visa or permanent resident status."

I wasn't sure what to put for either of these questions. I live in Houston, Texas.

3: It asks for the date that I've since been a resident. I have a copy of my old conditional green card - would I put the residence since date found on there? Or would there be a different date on my lost ten year green card?

Thank you for any information.
 

Thank you for the information from everyone, I apologize for the delaying in following up.

I've yet to re enter the US yet. But, I contacted the Port of Entry that I would be crossing at and explained my situation.

They informed me that it wouldn't be an issue to cross without my green card and that the boarding foil is not necessary. 

I was told that I had two options:

1: To show up at the border and fill out form I-90 there and pay the fee.

2: To file form I-90 online and show them the receipt for doing so when I get there.

I'll be filing form I-90 online prior to heading to the border - I'll update this thread after doing so when I do go across to share my experience in case anyone else comes across this topic in the future.

Hello,

I hope this is the correct forum for this question.

I have a 10 year green card that is currently missing while outside the US. 

I am a Canadian citizen and currently in Vancouver, British Columbia. I was looking for something in my wallet and noticed that my green card wasn't in it and have been frantically looking for it and having my wife search for it at our home in Texas.

I was looking up the procedure for what to do in case I am unable to locate my green card prior to returning to the US. I saw that I would need to file form I-90 when back in the US to replace my green card if I am unable to find it. I also saw information on filing form I-131A to obtain a "boarding foil" from the US Consulate in Vancouver. 

However, from what I've read (and I could be mistaken) - this is primarily used to board a plane destined for the United States. I was planning to enter the US by land  as I have a flight booked from the Bellingham, Washington airport to Texas.

I was planning to call the border crossing or other relevant government agency to inquire about the situation. But, I thought I would post here to see if I could get any other tips on how to proceed with this situation.

Since I would be entering the US by land as a Canadian citizen, I wasn't sure if I was able to avoid having to fill out form I-131A and just file form I-90 when back in the US.

In case it matters, some evidence that I would be able to present at the border checkpoint would be:

-My Texas driver's license.
-I could obtain my expired 2 year conditional green card from my wife.
-My social security card.
-The paper that I received when I was originally sent my 10 year green card. I believe it has a number and some other information on the paperwork.

-My Canadian passport.

I don't have a copy of my 10 year green card. However, I went to a bank in Texas a couple months ago and they made a copy of it at the bank - so I would be able to inquire with them about obtaining a copy.

Thank you for any information.
