I-90 form how to fill out

[GinoNiña 183]

My step son has been approved for his green card. The problem is he never received it. UCSIS mailed it to my attorneys P.O. box inside a ups store. Somehow it got lost in there. It was 2 months ago. Only now we found out because my attorney recently made an inquiry to uscis and they gave her a usps tracking number. I says it was delivered to her p.o. box.

 

Im on my own now to file a form I-90. I would like to ask what is the best reason for my case . Is it question #2.a. or #2.b. Reason for Application Section A.

2b. 2a would be if you received it and then lost it, but you never received it in the first place. 
 

I hope your lawyer is covering the fee for the replacement! And do make sure you track it this time using the receipt number.

If the attorney's designated mailing service lost it, I think that they should help you fill out the form and pay the fee for you. That's just me though... I know a lot of attorneys don't operate with the same ethical compass that many of the rest of us do. I would also try to get an InfoPass appointment at your local field office so your stepson can get an ADIT stamp in his passport as proof of LPR status.

When I was having a conversation about filling the form i-90 with my attorney, I was sizing her up whether she would offer to help. She shows no sign of any of that. Sometimes I dont blame her because I chose the least expensive immigration attorney in my town. So Im going to do it myself. Big thanks to all members here.

This is the exact copy of the note per the instructions for item number 2.b. The way I read it is I need to choose 2.a. Am I correct or reading it too deep?

 

NOTE: Do not select this reason for filing if the card was mailed to you at the address you provided, and it was never returned as undeliverable to USCIS. To determine if your card was returned to USCIS, check your case status online at www.uscis.gov/casestatus. You can also call the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing) call: 1-800-767-1833. If the card was not returned as undeliverable to USCIS, then you must file Form I-90 using reason “2.a.” (My previous card has been lost, stolen, or destroyed).

Odd, as that’s not correct either. I’d be inclined to just add a note saying USPS says delivered but it wasn’t. But your call.

I would say based on the instructions that you are going to have to select 2.a.

[GinoNiña 183]

I was skeptical about choosing 2.b. The very first sentence says "....issued but never received" which is applies to us. But there is NOTE at bottom if you keep on reading. Which is to never  ignore. and that note applies to us. 

 

Im so glad about this forums. we can clarify things lawyers wrote. but once a in a while you have a member giving personal comments.

Side note: I think you are very soft with the lawyer. If GC was lost (but shown as delivered to lawyer's PO) you could be more pushy and asking them to file I-90 covering the fees. Or at least split 50/50. It is their inbox after all.

well lets break it down the process. to see whose at fault. according to usps tracking, it was delivered and hand over to a ups store staff(its where my lawyer rent a p.o. box). I went to that ups store location myself and  asked questions to the staff on how they process mail for their customers. the staff received mails/package and throw it in unsorted box. then another staff or the same staff would sort it on the same day or another day and put it in their respective owners p.o. box. I think this is where it got lost. my lawyers mail which contain my green card was put in someone else p.o. box by mistake. I put the blame on ups store for this neglect work that they do. I think its the ups store is responsible for this.

Sorry, not quite understanding how UPS is related to delivery of GC. As far as I know USCIS does not use their services for delivering mail or green cards

A man poked his head into a lawyer's office and inquired about the lawyer's rates.

 

"$900 for three questions," said the lawyer, without looking up.

 

"$900?!  Isn't that awfully steep?" asked the man.

 

"I don't think so," the lawyer said.  "And what was your third question?"
