I am confused. What document was used to complete her I9 during employment? When was the expiration date? A lot of employers don't really know the rules about immigration documents when it comes to employment. I also had to go through a similar issue a few years ago when my wallet was stolen with all my IDs (including my green card) literally weeks before I accepted a new position. Luckily, I just went to the local USCIS office and they stamped one of my USCIS letters that was good for a year. GC replacements take forever. I was eligible for citizenship so I did both and my citizenship was completed within 2-3 months. Of course they just cancelled my GC renewal/replacement after this and pocketed the cash...lol. Good luck.

She was hired by agency who were okay with her 1751 , copy of expired GC and drivers license. Agency placed her  in a company .After 4 months company gave her an offer letter and she took it. Company hr requested more proof of her work authorization. She called Uscis and explained what employer is requesting. USCIS sent her i-94 with one year work authorization stamp. One year is over .Employer want physical expired GC.She tried to explain she is in the process of getting 10yr green card by providing extension letter copy of her lost expired GC,a letter from our immigration lawyer HR denied them all.Her manager advised her to resign HR was terminating her.She opted to resign.
