Filing I-751 soon but lost green card

[minnhelp 0]

My deadline is creeping up, March 28th to be precise. I have turned my house upside down searching for my green card which I seem to have misplaced or lost. I know I should've had most of the work done closer to my 90 days prior to deadline than cutting so close to it. But I kept searching around the house and places where I could've lost my green card. And unfortunately, I do not have a copy of it either.

At this point, while searching through the forum I ran across this thread which seemed pretty relevant to me (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=220622).

Basically, I followed the advice from others laid out to this person, which was to not file for I-90 to replace green card and setup an appt through infopass instead of calling USCIS cust service. My appt was last week and the guy told me not to file for I-90, of course, and suggested that I should file a police report and instead send a copy of police report for evidence and write a letter explainning what had occured.

He also said that, there is a good chance you may get called in for interview due to this reason but I should still be able to proceed and file I-751 regardless and submit rest of the evidence and supporting document.

My question is if I've done what I should've and have not missed anything here that might come back to haunt me?

Also here is a list of my support evidence that I'm filing, please advice if this looks sufficient as I'm about to put it all together and put it in the mail over the weekend or early next week?

1. Copy of Joint Checking Acct statements - (feb10, nov09, Aug09)
   
2. Copy of Federal and State tax filed - JOINT (09, 08, & 07)
   
3. Copy of Mortgage Statement - JOINT (last 3 months)
   
4. Copy of Home Insurance Document – JOINT
   
5. Copy of Car Insurance cards – JOINT
   
6. Copy of Health Insurance Cards - UNDER SAME POLICY
   
7. Copy of her 401k beneficiary statement
   
8. Copy of her Life insurance beneficiary statement
   
9. Copy of Airline Itinerary of trips from last 2 years
   
10. Copy of water/sewerage/Utility Bill – jOINT
    
11. Copy of Garbage Bill - ME ONLY same address
    
12. Copy of Gas Bill - HER ONLY same address
    
13. Copy of Electricity Bill - HER ONLY same address
    
14. Copy of 3 Credit Cards - Front & Back - JOINT
    
15. Copy of both Drivers License - Front & Back
    
16. Copy of Affidavit from 3 friends
    
17. Pictures from trips and family gatherings
    
18. Copy of Police Report and a brief letter explaining what had happened
    

Is there anything I've missed here? Do I need to send in an original copy of any of the documents or does any of these evidence need to be notarized?

Any advice will be much appreciated as it is getting really stressful with each passing day. Pleas advice!!!

If you followed the checklist below, and sent what you have off of it, you should be good. Interesting advice about not filing an I 90 and sending in a police report instead. Let us know what happens.

Your documentation looks good. no worries.

Do not send anything original other than the affidavits.

Thanks guys,

it is kinda reassuring to hear from others....lol..

And yea, what I gathered from my infopass interview was that filing I-90 is unnecessary to replace a card that is about to expire in a months time and it will be no good and waste of money and for what? Just to prove that you infact had green card and you lost it? Which USCIS agent thought I can establish by just sending in a police report, a copy of I-797C (welcome letter) or I-797D (letter that came with the original green card) with explanation correspondence. I am planning on sending in a copy of my infopass interview receipt just so I can say that this was adviced by the agency rep himself...

Thanks again for your advice.

Ok, I'm probably one of the last filers left for this Month. Its a mad dash to the finish line for me. Since I've lost my green card and as I stated above; uscis officer advised me to send in a letter explaining what had happened instead of filing for replacement card, form I-90.

I'm trying to take it a step further as I have a copy of police report for lost conditional green card. I will be sending that along with a letter explaining my situation, copy of infopass appt printout to state that I had reported the lost/stolen card to police and seeked advice from USCIS itself, and a copy of my I-797C&D.

Anywho, hopefully that will help my situation. But I do have a questions for the filers since the search is down. Do you mark the bills, statements and documents circling dates, names etc to make it easier for examiners to sift through the docs or is that a NO-NO?

Just curious... please advise!

We didn't, but if you want, they make stick-it arrows that are easy to remove.

I highlighted the information I wanted them to find quickly -names, dates, numbers, etc. - since most of what we were submitting were copies anyway. I wanted to make it as easy for them to find the necessary information and see its relevance as I could so they didn't get frustrated and stop looking .

I also included a 'table of contents' listing every document that I sent in order of inclusion in the package so if they were looking for something specific they could locate it easily.

Good luck!
