Typo on Card

[Jamie&Trevor 0]

Back in early February I received my new green card after successfully lifting conditions on my conditional card. However the card said I was "male" which is an obvious error so I completed the Form I-90 reason "D", sent the card with error and no payment back to the California Service Center. It was received by USCIS and signed for on February 20th, 2008. I have attempted to make several inquiries with the mis-information line about the status on my card and have been told each time they are no longer giving out Receipt notices for reason "D"'s, to wait and if 180 days passes to call them back.

The last enquiry I made was concerning my sister-in-laws wedding we would like to attend out of Country. The lady on the info line said to write a letter to the service center with copies of the wedding documents and make an enquiry directly that way about my card. Well, wouldn't you know my original letter with a standard cover letter stating to contact the information line for support & questions was returned to me May 28th, 2008.

As it stands, I have no Receipt Notice, No expired greencard and no way of knowing if they even have my I-90 and it hasn't been lost in the shuffle somewhere. I am thinking about contacting my state representative for assistance but have no idea who that is (Lafayette, IN). I have to drive almost 2 hours for an info pass appointment and I don't even have a receipt number or any thing to prove that I am eligible to receive a stamp in my passport. Should I keep waiting???

I'll never be so glad to be done with this whole process *sigh*

No, in spite of it being 2 hours drive, you need to make an Infopass appointment and go. Do you have copies of your paperwork you submitted for the replacement card? Basically, what USCIS will need is your A# - which will be on your expired temporary card as well as your paperwork, and proof you are who you say you are. You should be able to get the I-551 stamp in your passport at the very least and this will allow you to travel safely and return to the US for your sister-in-law's wedding. They should also be able to tell you the status of your replacement card application. Good luck.

What Kathryn said. Go for an Infopass appointment and ask for a stamp on your passport. Good Luck!

I had to return my card too, because of a typo. But this was only in late April. No NOA - nothing.

We had congressman Visclosky http://www.house.gov/visclosky/ look into our missing GC case and it worked. Not sure who your congressman is, but try contacting this one - it might work. Have to say congressman Evan Bahn was of absolutely no help.

Hi,

I sent my I-90 in Dec 2007. June 2008 we had nothing, no card and no details from USCIS. We made an infopass appoinment straight away. They told us that they had sent the new card in Jan 2008. Well we never recieved it. USCIS said we will have to pay a fee to get a new card. We have contacted our congressman about this and his office is helping us out. We should hopefully get a new card without the fee soon. Hopefully one without errors. But that is a whole other can of worms.

Contact your congressman. Give them 1-2 weeks to respond. If they can't help contact another. I contacted one congressman and 2 Senators. Only the congressman has made an effort in helping.
