If you genuinely cannot remember and don't have access to check your documents, just explain that. I have a feeling you're not the first person this has happened to. You have status here as GC holder, I doubt it'll be a problem. I assume the worst that could happen is they send you an RFE for missing information later, but maybe they won't even bother with that.

You will need your greencard for identification purposes when you go for biometrics. You can find your travel history by looking up your I94- I’m just not sure if you need your passport # to do that however. Additionally do you have any of your boarding passes in your email or visit the airline website that you traveled in on to find your flight history?

I have the green card, rechecked what’s i94, it asks info on passport, which again is the point, passport is with my papers far away. So not sure how to use it. I entered with visa stamped at the border on land. 

 

My option to explain section 8 with all additional evidence if they need ( or send it with the form) and/ or call directly USCIS will Be acceptable?

Oh was just writing  to you colleague and wanted to do that to you but you just answered , thank you!! So I’ll explain truthfully as mentioned,  in section 8 . Yes I have the status GC and will bring to biometrics. All is true, my husband took care of papers and it’s diff w/ o him . I very for every paper I have to fill.

Calling USCIS will not help they can’t instruct you how to fill the form. You can write your reason in section 8, however lame, but it’s the truth.
 

If you have panic attacks over the process you should really file online because now you will wonder for 1+month if you rocket was received, did you mail it to the correct address, etc.

iN the future make copies of all your importance documents and email them to yourself that way you have them. Also,  in an emergency your passport and green card should be 2 of the priorities you take with you.

Thank for your time and op. I was thinking ask USCIS not for filling the form but if has any knowledge if one has  issue with uncertain response and if it’s ok to explain it in section 8 . 

I think if I send by mail they can answer by email. If this info is correct ( they also may even open an online account for us) my reason fir mail is simply I can’t download and send them the doc online. 

 

For the rest Great good points, I learned my lesson. Honestly I’ve been not well for a long time loosing my husband and papers were his job. And other difficult things happened. 

Again many times thank you!

I’m very sorry for your loss. You can do this yourself don’t worry. Keep coming to the site for questions. Also if you are going to submit the application by mail please make a copy of the entire application before you send it in and store it in a safe place. Trust me this will save you a headache if you receive a RFE and you don’t have to question “did I fill that out correctly?” “I don’t remember what I wrote” etc. we keep copies of our passport in email and have photo of them in our phones As well as photocopies of them around the house lol -just another suggestion you can do one day.
