Physical Green Card Destroyed

[bcrew13 3]

So for some reason, the USCIS said they could not deliver my wife's physical green card to our address even though we've received every letter notices they've sent. We had to file a I-90 to replace the green card because it could not be delivered, with a ETA of 3-4 months when we filed. Now the ETA is 18 months and her ADIT stamp that she arrived with 12/21 is set to expire. We tried to setup a infopass appointment for a new stamp so we don't have any issues and USCIS said they are fully booked and can't setup an appointment, this was after trying to setup an appointment in August and being told it had to be within 30 days of the expiration of the stamp before allowing us to setup an appointment.

 

My wife will have no proof of residency that is not expired, what do we do? This was no fault of our own, and we've done everything we are supposed to, but USCIS is way too backlogged to get anything done in the timeframe they require themselves. USCIS says on their website a receipt of I-90 is good for 24 month extension with an expired green card, if you don't have a green card you can get an ADIT stamp, but what if I can't get an ADIT stamp either?

Keep calling for that ADIT stamp.

Ya, we've called three times the last 2 weeks and they just say they can't do anything. We're trying to get a state id tomorrow since her ADIT stamp won't be expired yet and that can serve as her proof, but the backlog is very frustrating.

Yes, I 90's are at the bottom of the barrel relative to processing order which is probably why there is a backlog in appointments to get an ADIT stamp.

Congressman/Senator’s immigration liaison. Get in touch with that person and explain what happened and ask for assistance.

If she needs evidence of authorization to work her unrestricted  social security card is that.  
 

Unless she needs to travel internationally or get a drivers license,  does she need evidence of LPR status?

I'm on the same boat and there isn't much you can do. Maybe your representative will back to you but infopass appointments are being denied across the board.

@bcrew13 any updates? After I contacted my congress rep it took over a month but they got back to me and around the 4 month mark I got the famous ADIT stamp.

We literally got our appointment 5 min ago. We got my wife a state id card to travel domestically in the mean time a day before her ADIT stamp expired. Now she'll have both.

That's great. She wouldn't have to carry or use passport for domestic travel.
