My wife's green card seems to have gotten lost. Tracking follows it to the post office, with the last status being "Awaiting delivery" since August 4th. There were no delivery attempts at all during this time, and the package didn't even show up in the Informed Delivery, which is weird. At the post office, they advised submitting a missing mail request. Is it possible that the envelope gets recovered, or are they just going through the motions, and I shouldn't get my hopes up?

I know we can request a replacement, but I just don't want to deal with all that. USCIS status tracker says if we don't get the card by Friday, we should submit an e-request to replace it, but here's the kicker, the e-request says it doesn't support our type of form. I guess it's since we got permanent residence through the consulate abroad, but IDK

If anyone has experience with recovering lost documents from USPS, please share. I appreciate it

Hello, please let me know if my case has big problems. We have a straight forward case relationship wise we been married for almost three years lived together the whole times gave strong reestablishing domcile evidence for my wife. But we interviewed in Laos and I'm Egyptian the interview lasted around 10-15 mins asked mostly about why we transferred the case to Laos and that they usually don't handle cases from foreigners even tho NVC allowed it. Now at the end she said I can't move forward with your case because we don't deal with Egyptian documents here so we would have to get back to Cairo to verify them and she gave me all my documents back and my passport and gave me the white paper with AP on it. How bad is it?

Hi! Petitioner here.

Context: Originally, when I filed my taxes with a CPA and on my own for the past few years, the total income for each year fall 50% below the i864p poverty guideline. But I showed my tax documents to a different CPA about a week ago. He realized I've been filing wrong all these years. My total income for every year should actually be around $36000 for every year, which is $10,000 above the poverty line! So, the current CPA recommended that I amend all my federal tax returns for the past few years and send the amended forms to the NVC so that I will not need a joint sponsor.

However, I've been DQ'd recently, my original 3 tax forums have already been submitted to the NVC, and the NVC requested that "may" need to find a joint sponsor. I have not received the interview letter yet.

Questions:
1) Would it be wise to follow the current CPA's advice?
2) Won't the Interviewer be suspect of the amendments? Or will the interviewer accept the amendments?
3) Should I contact NVC regarding my situation? Or is there a likelihood that they'll see my situation as a red flag?
4) Will amending tax forms delay the NVC process by months and months?
5) Even having earned $36000 per year for all three years and its anticipated for 2025, should I still have a joint sponsor?
