Green Card and SS car stolen, time for ROC

[vancedan 5]

Hello,

My wife had he green card stolen in July, and we applied for a new green card with I-90 in August. We still haven't received the replacement and we're now about 10 days in the 90 day window to file for ROC before April. So two questions

1.) We have the NOA for the I-90 and an infopass on Thursday. Would the USCIS center give my wife a stamp within her passport, and if worst comes to worse, we still have a copy of her old green card (just front) and her her NOA. Would that be acceptable to USCIS?

2.) She hasn't been able to get a new SS card because she don't have the green card. However, would a stamp within passport or the NOA be valid? She got a new job offer and needs her SS card.

Thanks

1 - Yes, they will give her I-551 stamp, which is equal to green card.

2 - I-551 stamp is good enough to get SS card.

Send in the ROC with the copy of the GC and a copy of the I-90 form. They should give her a stamp and with that she can get a replacement SSC. Unless employers have changed their rules, she does not need to show the SSC. Just show the I-551 stamp when she gets it and that is a List A document for the I-9. All she needs do is provide the SSN to her employer. I have never shown my SSC for jobs--I use my US passport for them to complete the I-9 form and then just rattle off the SSC. If she does not get a stamp, then show the employer the copy of the GC and the I-90 form and suggest she will show them the new GC when it arrives.

I do not know why the SSA will not give someone who already has a SSC a replacement card unless she received it based on a K-1 visa and now the I-94 is expired and they are using that as an excuse--who knows what BS they will use to not do their job. You might want to e-mail the mail SSA office and ask them how she should go about getting a replacement card. It could be that the local office and the person you talked to does not have a clue and was blowing smoke up your a$$. You could try using the copy of the GC with the SSA, but I would not hold my breath.

Good luck,
