Help!!! I’m in the process of having restrictions/conditions removed on my green card.

We’ve  been married almost four years and have filed for removal of conditions but it’s held up in processing.

i have to urgently travel on Wednesday from NC to New Zealand as both my elderly parents are very unwell. My Dad is terminal. My mother cannot be alone as she is housebound.

i cannot find my daughters or my green cards.

i have torn the house apart twice. I’ve bee. Searching for days and I cannot find them.

I HAVE to travel and I’m desperate in need of some advice.

You could try to get an emergency appointment at a USCIS field office for an ADIT stamp.  But I'm not sure you can do it by Wednesday.  

 

Remember:  If you find your Green Cards, you must also have the original 4 year extension letters if your 2 year Green card has expired.

You'll need an ADIT stamp, but I agree, by Wednesday isn't likely. They're usually mailed, my daughter's came pretty quickly after she lost her green card, but not that quickly. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-related-news/temporary-status-documentation-for-lawful-permanent-residents-lpr

 

But you don't need the GC to leave the country, only to re-enter. So I'd suggest you phone for the ADIT stamp and then when it arrives ask somebody to courier it to you in NZ?

 

I'm sorry to hear of your situation, and hope you can find the GC's.
